Posted on Saturday 12th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Sun shines down on Nozawa again this morning. I'm just looking at the forecasts and over the next week that looks set to be what we can expect - sun and more sun, a bit of cloud maybe. Temps into the double digits every day here at base. So nice and warm and settled conditions.
Note that from today until Wednesday, the Yamabiko B course plans to be closed to the public as there is a competition being held. The resort hasn't updated that info on the live page just yet but I presume that is going ahead as planned.
Following on from yesterday, today and tomorrow there's the chance to test out new model skis and snowboards. If you are interested, head up to the top Yamabiko area of the resort at any of the times below...
Saturday 12th - 9:30am until 3pm
Sunday 13th - 9:30am until 2:30pm
...and check out some next season gear. It's free, but you will need some kind of formal identification that has a photo of yourself on it to sign up and take part.
