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


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 252cm

Posted on Tuesday 14th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Nozawa is reporting 10cm of fresh across the mountain this morning, and there's about that down at base.


I can also report less people lining up for the gondola this morning, which people who are staying on after that long weekend will surely be pleased to hear. It was a busy weekend. Now that we are back to a normal weekday, a few lifts are stopped as noted below but that is not affecting courses that are open.


But I think also a good one with some fine snow conditions. Courses got tracked out of course, but still untouched to be found. Hopefully we'll get some more cm today to give us a decent refresh.


Right now, the forecast for tomorrow is clear and sunny. We should be back to snow later in the week.

Yamabiko - 250cm
