Snowfall at base this season 379cm

Posted on Monday 13th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Snow has started falling this morning amounting what isn't much more than just a sprinkling so far. But as I write this, it's coming down quite nicely. Not sure how long that might last!


Limited visibility up at Yamabiko early morning.


Expect some sun tomorrow and then some nice heavy snow (possibly) around Wednesday/Wednesday night. Get that fresh new layer in!


Yesterday was a busy day and while today is Monday it is a national holiday and so will be busier than a normal Monday.
