Posted on Friday 16th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Morning from Nozawa.


There's lots of cloud around this morning but some blue sky too and perhaps things will clear up more.


Since yesterday the resort is reporting up to 16cm of fresh snow (Uenotaira) and 5-10cm on lower areas so there's a fresh layer out there.


Tomorrow should see a return to snow falling along with the chance of some stronger winds too, and the snow might continue into Sunday.


Happy Chinese New Year to everyone visiting Nozawa and celebrating.
