Posted on Sunday 20th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It feels like we have been told to expect snow the last few days and it just hasn't turned out how the forecasts said. Yes, snow up top - and the ski area is reporting 20cm from the Yamabiko area - but very little down below. So head high would probably be the advice for this morning.
Is that going to change in the next few days? Well, we are expecting it to. So let's have it!
Have a good Sunday.
