Good morning from Nozawa.
Sadly, I have to bring you the rather inevitable news of a delayed opening this morning. Yes, Nozawa isn't going to be able to open on Saturday as planned, so they are now into 'stand-by' mode and will open as soon as there is enough snow.
Yesterday at 10am they were reporting 10cm of snow on the upper Yamabiko area.
Good to see a thin sprinkling of snow lower down though and there are spots of rain this morning.
It's a rather thick and foggy/cloudy kind of morning.
Over the weekend some milder temps are forecast and there's more of a chance of rain than snow even higher up if the forecasts are correct. So think that the delay in opening will be for at least a week...
