Crystal Clear day in Nozawa Onsen
A quick look at the web cam and it looks pretty nice up top this morning. Web Cams Nozawa Onsen
Also looks like someone has taken some kind of first tracks down A Course up at Yamabiko! Might have to go up there today for some further research!
As pretty as it looks no lifts running as yet so the focus today is on nearby Ryuoo Park where we have been running some guests over to for some skiing. Please see the photos to get a bit of an idea, conditions are not bad up there for an early season slide. It was pretty packed over the weekend being the only resort open in the area but will be pretty dead during the week I am sure.
