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


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 613cm

Posted on Tuesday 13th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Some good snow falling at times yesterday, but it curiously didn't result in big numbers. This morning the resort is reporting 1-2cm of fresh snow on the lower slopes and 4-6cm on the upper areas of the resort. So a modest amount of fresh higher up.


It is pretty cold this morning and snow is falling. Fingers crossed we get some through the day tomorrow and then we can probably expect to get some sunshine tomorrow morning (along with some fairly mild conditions again).


By the way, the West and East 'Kandahar' courses will be open today for general usage.


After that, the West Course will be open on Thursday and Friday this week.
