Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 12cm

Posted on Friday 13th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning all. The wait continues.


A little fresh snow down to the base areas this morning. I am measuring just over 3cm, likely more than that on the upper areas of course though surely not enough to let the lifts get moving this weekend.


It is cloudy still this morning but we might even get some sunshine during the day today. There is already a few breaks in the cloud and some signs of light blue behind them.


A sunny morning is due tomorrow with some fresh snow due later in the day.


The ski area will open as soon as there is enough snow.
