Posted on Sunday 11th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


It's a busy peak season Sunday of course and lots of people around here in Nozawa.


Just a bit of snow really since yesterday with the numbers reported by the resort yesterday afternoon and this morning added below.


It's a cloudy start to the day here but snow is expected later on and the potential for a fair bit as well overnight. So I look forward to being able to report that tomorrow.


It would be good if we were on receiving end of a good chunk of fresh snow because after tomorrow we are expecting a run of sunny days and it might get a bit milder. Hopefully not too much.
