Posted on Wednesday 21st January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It's early report time this morning.
I wish I could say that it's because I'm off up on the first Gondola, but unfortunately it's Nagano City that beckons today.
Some early morning valley cloud aside, looking up and we have some fine looking blue skies and the sun starting to work it's magic on the slopes. It's going to be a top morning even if cloud is forecast to be moving in once again during the day.
Snowfall during the day yesterday but none overnight - cold start to the day with temperatures up on the top areas down to -9C. Here in the village area it's a cold -5C, with a high forecast of +2C.
There might be some snowfall overnight into tomorrow.
So catch the sun while you can!
Resort news. If you ever wanted a go at some wiggling round those poles that you see ski racers wiggling round, now's your chance. Well, on Monday 26th anyway. Up on the Paradise course, you can have a go at the 'alpen pole' course. It's free and there's going to be rental helmets provided for free as well... and also some advice. Sounds like it could be fun!
