One of the best sights in the world – waking up to falling snow!
The most gorgeous view when I opened my blinds this morning… Roofs already covered in a blanket of snow. The game changer has arrived.
And with the game changer comes the expansion of where you can explore on the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort! More chairlifts and slopes have opened today.

☃️ SNOW FORECAST:
The snow showers today could bring us up to 25 cm of fresh snow. Tomorrow morning may be some sun before it starts heavy in the evening
This weekend’s excellent forecast is holding strong with heavy snow from Saturday continuing through until Monday evening, delivering us more than 2m of fresh powder. You may need the powder skis and boards soon, shovels too!
We call this kind of system “The Game Changer.” It’s going to change the landscape pretty quickly and hopefully set us up for the rest of the season.
