Snow Report Nozawa 2024
Sunday Slide in Nozawa Onsen
Has been a magic first few days of the season on the slopes of Nozawa and still excited to be skiing in early December. Normally we are all eagerly waiting the start of the season. Conditions have been great, we had another top up pf 11cm of fresh snow yesterday morning and the trees and piste were covered in a pretty white layer. A few more people about for the weekend but a few ore runs open too. All of Yamabiko was open up and today Uenotaira slope will open too for the first time. So something for all levels. Not sure whether Uenotaitra will stay open for the weekdays but will have to wait and see.

Temperature at the top; – 1 degrees
New snow since yesterday; 0 cm
Base at the top; 50cm
Snow conditions; No fresh snow this morning but with the cool temps with remain good up top

🚡LIFTS IN OPERATION: Nagasaka Gondola and Yamabiko 4 both and Uenotaira lift.
🌄RUNS OPEN: Yamabiko A,B,C, D and E as well as Uenotaira Course
☃️SNOW FORECAST
Snow fall expected from Lunchtime and 12cm on the forecast
After today it looks like a fair amount of sunshine on the menu for the week ahead. That cold system that was predicted for Friday has gone unfortunately so looks like will be some fair weather skiing for a while. Everyone in the village is probably not too disappointed as gives them some more time to get set up before all the guests and heavy snow arrive. All these shots were from yesterday and was a winter wonderland on the slopes. Have a great Sunday and hope to see you up there soon.
