Posted on Sunday 22nd January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Before 4pm yesterday the ski area was reporting 10-11cm of snow on upper areas and 6cm around base areas; just a few more cm this morning up top and a dusting below.
It is lovely morning with some cloud but lots of clear sky too. A very cold start to the day too.
Maybe there will be more sun during tomorrow too. And then... super snow on Tuesday?
