White Christmas Nozawa Onsen Japan

Not a bad way to spend Christmas on the slopes yesterday with fresh snow and glorious sunshine. For sure we could use some more snow still but with nice cold temps up top the snow underfoot was terrific. A few people around as was only Yamabiko and down to mid station but something for everyone and spectacular views across the valley.
