Early March Snow Nozawa

Hello March! Fresh Snow Returns to Nozawa ❄️🏔️

Fresh snowflakes are falling from the sky as I write this, and just like that, winter is back in Nozawa! The weatherman is telling us to expect 25cm up top today. After yesterday’s unusual warmth and a touch of rain, the mountain is once again transforming into a white paradise. The fresh snow—just what we needed to refresh those recently compacted runs. With slow northern winds and steady snowfall, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic day on the slopes. Looking ahead, we might catch a glimpse of sunshine tomorrow morning before more snow arrives from Wednesday night through to Friday. Get ready for another epic week in Nozawa!

❄️ SNOW FORECAST: 

The Snow Gods are making sure Nozawa Onsen stays covered in a fresh white blanket as cold temperatures and snowfall return. The 385cm snow base at the top of Nagasaka is on the rise again, giving the mountain a much-needed refresh after a few days of spring-like conditions. Winds will remain light to moderate this week, picking up slightly to 40km/h on Thursday night. Another moderate snowfall is set to arrive Tuesday night, followed by more fresh snow Wednesday through Friday, keeping the slopes in great shape. While the forecast may change, clearer skies and sunshine are expected from Sunday onward. Until then, enjoy winter’s return, make the most of the fresh snow, and stay safe—see you up there!
