Posted on Monday 22nd April 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It might well be warming up soon... but not quite yet.
This morning it's another cold and wintery-like start to the day and there's more snow to report.... up to 7cm on Yamabiko according to the resort themselves, and 5cm on Uenotaira. A cold -5C up there too as of 7:30am and conditions described as 'powder'. Not bad at all.
Similarly poor visibility up on the top runs this morning and the forecast for the day is decent weather and so perhaps we will see it clear up as the day moves on.
Warmer conditions are expected tomorrow.
