Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 30cm
Snowfall at base this season 622cm
Posted on Monday 12th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
An impressive refresh this morning with 30-45cm of new snowfall being reported by the resort across the mountain.
Snow falling and poor visibility isn't affecting the lifts on this last day of the long weekend though so for those wanting to seek out that fresh and brave the elements it's all there available for you. Just know where you're going, and remember not to do anything daft. Things can very easily go horribly wrong in this kind of condition.
They can also go fantastically right as well, and snow conditions (weather aside!) should be great this morning.
Back to a normal weekday tomorrow.
Of course, we are fast approaching the big event of the year here in Nozawa Onsen... yes, the Dosojin Fire Festival which will climax on Thursday evening. And as the forecast is now we're expecting some fine clear conditions on Thursday.
From tomorrow onwards actually. The snow clouds should pack up and leave by early tomorrow morning, leaving us to a few days of clearer and milder weather conditions.
