Spring Skiing Nozawa Onsen
A touch of Spring skiing in Nozawa but won’t last long.
Yesterday was a beautiful day on the mountain, besides a cloudy start the skies cleared and we got bathed in some gorgeous sunshine. It was warm down in the village and with the southerly winds it felt a lot like a spring day. The snow conditions however were actually better than the day before as softened up early and were still fast and fun under foot up top. Terrific most of the way down the mountain except for the spring like slush at the bottom. Up at Yamabiko everyone was having a ball check out this video shot from the top of Mount Kenashi yesterday afternoon.

Temperature up top: 2 degrees
New snow since close: 0cm
Base at top: 120 cm
Snow conditions: Should be pretty soft up top again today given the warmer temps
Weather: Cloudy most of the day with light winds and may see some snow fall up top and rain down low
Looking pretty overcast today and warm, no winds though so should still be a bit of fun on the hill. Temps and freezing level will stay high most of the day and we should see the sun again tomorrow morning. Temperatures are then set to plummet into tomorrow night and heavy snow expected for the top, it should then continue to fall into Friday and Saturday.
So enjoy the spring conditions while they last as looks like we are in for a winter blast and good snowfall from tomorrow night in Nozawa.
