Snowfall at base this season 70cm
Posted on Wednesday 10th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The resort reporting 10cm of snow since yesterday and there's a nice fresh snow look to the trees this morning, helped along by the sun shining down on them. Still some cloud hanging around from yesterday and overnight, but it seems to be clearing and we are in for a day of fine and sunny conditions. Milder temperatures as well today and tomorrow though rain clouds will be moving in tomorrow in the village. Hopefully snow on the upper slopes.
Later Friday into Saturday is still looking very promising with heavy snow in particular forecast for Saturday along with very cold conditions.
Fancy doing some cross country? Nozawa is opening it's Uenotaira cross country course from Saturday... apparently about 5km of it. Tickets are 1250 yen for adults and 800 yen for children for the Gondola and course maintenance.
No news on other course areas of the resort opening yet, but I would expect more open at the weekend. That's just a guess though, will bring any real news to this report in the coming days.
