Posted on Monday 11th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
No fresh snow being reported overnight apart from 2cm from the Uenotaira area. I wasn't able to check the official numbers late afternoon so I apologise for missing those. I measured slightly over 5cm since the morning.
It is a cold and cloudy morning. Not much sign of sun, not at the moment anyway.
As expected, it was a busy day yesterday. This being the last day of the long weekend, today will be less so, especially as the day goes on.
Tomorrow we should be seeing more fresh snow falling with regular snowfall over the coming week. That sounds good to me.
If you want to check out the mostly unavailable Kandahar lift, tomorrow is your chance! That was the plan anyway, hopefully it is still going ahead. It will be open to the general public tomorrow and then only on 1st March after that.
