Posted on Friday 14th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
After what turned into a wet day yesterday, it's good to be able to report some snow this morning. Wet snow for sure, certainly down here near base (borderline sleet at times), but definitely better than rain!
The resort is this morning reporting 8cm on the upper slopes and 5cm on lower slopes here around base. Just a few cm on my car this morning.
Snow is forecast through the day today, would be good if we could get some dryer snow up there before the weekend - which looks set to start off with some sun.

Yamabiko - 340cm
Uenotaira - 280cm
