Good morning from Nozawa.
Just a dusting on lower areas as it snows this morning with the resort reporting 10cm on the upper Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas.
Fingers crossed we'll get some more fresh today and then it looks like there's a chance of a sunny day tomorrow though thankfully it's not set to warm up.
I feel less people around on the slopes this week, but Nozawa is a big place anyway so there's plenty snow to share around.
