It was a case of get out early for the best runs yesterday, as the warm afternoon caused sticky conditions occur across the resort.
Today we have been greeted by thick fog across the the resort and snow is expected to begin falling this afternoon. This should continue through the evening, with 13cm expected between now and tomorrow morning. This should make for a nice day up on the slopes this morning.
The forecast for the next few days shows some sunny weather followed by more snow on Saturday and Sunday.

It was great to see some snow falling in the village when we woke this morning.
Freeze levels dropped across the resort yesterday leaving us with about 10cm of fresh snow on the upper slopes and a few centimetres in town.
It's still snowing lightly at the moment, and the heavy cloud settled on the higher slopes is making for low visibility. Having said this, the snow conditions should be a lot better than yesterday, so it's definitely worth heading up early for some turns.
The forecast for the coming days is predicting a relatively moderate fall of snow, with the best days being Friday and next Monday.

It's not a great day today, with strong winds, fog and rain falling across the resort. Thankfully the freezing levels are expected to drop throughout the day and snow should start to fall later this afternoon.
The forecast for the next few days is showing moderate snow, with 20cm expected between now and Friday. So don't put the skis and boards away just yet!

Is shaping up to be a warm and sunny day here in Nozawa Onsen. Spring is here!! with the sun out and the groomers working hard last night the runs of Yamabiko and paradise will be the spot for some long cruising turns. Or test your skills on the bumps of Schneider and Utopia
There is a chance of rain tonight, but do not fear, the freezing level will be dropping over night, so by Tuesday morning there should be a couple of cm of fresh snow on the ground.

It has been a fine day in Nozawa - clouds around especially this morning but the sun also making an appearance and right now we are being treated to a beautiful sunset. It has been another mild day and tomorrow looks set to be clear and warmer still - perhaps temperatures reaching double figures during the day.
Worth mentioning that there was also a small sprinkling of snow at the top of the mountain last night.
It's looking like we will see snow around tomorrow night before hopefully temperatures dropping and getting some more snow clouds with us Tuesday to Thursday.

There was still plenty of powder to be had yesterday, if you knew where to find it!
The freezing level has been rising overnight and the temperature is also climbing this morning.
Rain is forecast for the lower slopes later on, with perhaps light snow falling at higher elevations (1650m).
Yamabiko, Sky Line and Paradise should be the best areas today. There is still some powder at Yamabiko for those who have not had enough in the last few days. Clearer weather forecast tomorrow with more colder weather currently due around Tuesday.
Stay warm and dry today.

After two days of snow, we've now been blessed with a blue-bird day. Perfect Spring skiing conditions, with some powder still around for those who go hunting. There's a 235cm base up the top of the hill and a little over a meter in town.
The forecast shows light snow tomorrow and another sunny day on Sunday.
Dress for warm conditions and get up the mountain!
