Peak Season Nozawa Japan
Peak Season Nozawa Japan
Another day another 30cm for Nozawa
It’s getting deeper here with back to back days of the “Magic Foot” the base has now hit peak for the season so far at 160cm with a lot more to come from tonight. Yesterday just kept on giving with heavy snow all day and powder stashes up for grabs at every turn. A very atmospheric day with the local lads dragging the logs across the slopes and down through the village to the Ceremony grounds. A right of passage literally for the young men of Nozawa.
This morning is going to be nothing short of amazing Sunshine, fresh snow, light winds and the runs groomed perfection with beautiful powder on the sides. Check it all out on the web cams it looks magnificent; https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/

☃️ SNOW FORECAST:
After today’s short break and sunshine better pull out the snorkel as we are going deep again tomorrow. A strong North West wind change tonight will bring with it some heavy snow. Another 60cm expected between now and Tuesday afternoon! This should be enough to see any remaining parts of the resort open up. With all this snow and the excitement please enjoy but be careful and ride within your limits and the resort boundaries. The Resort is being very strict this year and taking ski passes from anyone going out of bounds. Don’t let it be you as not a nice way to spend your holiday. Plenty of powder on the slopes to enjoy anyway.
The Shrine for the Fire Festival is being built all day today and tomorrow at the bottom of the village well worth going to check it out so head on down.
