Public Holiday Nozawa Onsen
A Royal day to celebrate the Emperors Birthday in Japan
Superb morning in Nozawa with the fresh snow delivered from yesterday’s blizzard like conditions and glorious sunshine shining down. A big change to yesterday when we got hit with a bit of a stealth Siberian storm across the region. Bit hard to tell how much snow fell as it was blowing around all over the place but guessing we got about 20cm. This shot was yesterday.
The stats for the slopes today in Nozawa
Temperature up top: -4 degrees
New snow since close: 0 cm overnight but a good fall yesterday
Base at top: 180 cm
Snow conditions: Great conditions across the resort
Weather: Bluebird day with light winds and plenty of sun
Plenty of people on the slopes today with the public holiday and great conditions but they should clear out nay lunch time and we should have more sunshine in the morning with no one about. Forecast still looks good and we should start to see snow fall up top from tomorrow evening. May get some rain down low at first but should turn to snow Wednesday. Happy birthday to Naruhito san and hope everyone has a great day on the slopes in Nozawa
