Posted on Tuesday 12th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
An earlier report today. It's a bit early for Naski actually, who isn't out yet... probably still having breakfast. (What do vegetables have for breakfast?)
Anyway, enough silliness.
Just a dusting yesterday and no new cm of snow reported overnight and we start the day today with cloudy skies. Might get a bit of snow overnight but tomorrow we should be getting some sunshine.
The ski area announced yesterday that 1 member of staff had received a positive coronavirus test.
As a result of that they are going to be keeping the Hikage gondola closed to day as they do disinfect the facility.
All of the courses and other lifts are open as planned.
That news was sad to hear that, of course, but let's all do the best we can to keep it under control.
Fresh snowfall recorded by the resort (since yesterday morning):
- Yamabiko (1407m): 2cm
- Uenotaira (1230m): 2cm
- Hikage (660m): 1cm
- Nagasaka (615m): 1cm
- Karasawa (563m): 0cm
