Posted on Friday 12th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
I'm still a bit confused with what the weather is delivering at the moment. Not more than 30 minutes up the road and they were getting some proper snowfall yesterday, while we were getting some sun in the afternoon. The resort yesterday did update their reporting saying there was 8-10cm up top (and by 12 noon it appears they added 6-7cm), though I wasn't out on the slopes myself to go check that out. They are not reporting any more snow this morning, though it is snowing. As you can see on the image below there's a dusting of snow on the top of Nasuki's head (and he/she looks happy). I'm going to award the report 1cm as encouragement.
All curious stuff.
Snow is on the forecast for today and later tomorrow. Come on!!
