Posted on Monday 14th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Just a little snowfall overnight with the ski area itself reporting up to 12cm on upper runs. If the forecasts are correct, the early morning clouds - and lingering snow in upper areas - will be clearing and we will get some sunshine today. It does not feel like it right now as it's kind of grey and dull, but things can often change quickly.
After a relatively busy weekend, we are now back to a plain old Monday morning. So things will once again be pretty quiet. If the sun does come out, should be a good morning.
