Take of two mountains in Nozawa

What a rippa of a day it was yesterday! Rippa is a Japanese word which means the same as the English equivalent a ripper of a day. Always nice to get a cold blast in late March and the little top up of snow was much appreciated.

In Spring I often ski without gloves but yesterday I wish I had have worn them as the temps stayed nice and cold keeping the piste fresh. The top was great and spent most of the day up at Yamabiko. As expected it got slushy and a bit sparse in places on the lower slopes but still able to ski top to bottom all the way back to Nagasaka Gondola to do it again on the Challenger run or Forest trail.

Nice turns all the way to the bottom of Paradise slope. If coming up to Nozawa and need help with any rentals, lift passes, lessons etc head to this link to book; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/services/

FORECAST: Sunshine and light winds for as far as the eye can see. Temps cool today and tomorrow climbing into the week ahead. These conditions are the reason many folk like to come and ski this time of year. Enjoy the Spring conditions in Nozawa

If get a chance head over to Maguse Outdoor Onsen and tell them they need to stay open 🙂 Expected to close for good in 3 days sadly.
