Posted on Tuesday 11th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The heavy snowfall has eased off somewhat today and we have had perhaps 10cm or so up on Yamabiko since yesterday and just slight snowfalls lower down. Nice conditions this morning as the snow clouds have for the most part moved on and actually there is quite a bit of blue sky up there and the sun shining down on the runs.
Not busy at all either so very nice conditions for the people making their way out there. The forecast tells us to expect more snow by the end of the day though and into tomorrow, though likely not as much as it was snowing over the weekend.
