Posted on Saturday 24th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Just a dusting really down in lower areas with several cm of snow reported by the ski area since yesterday morning.


Not enough for a refresh/reset of course but it is still looking like we might get some of that Monday night into Tuesday. Will the forecasts be right this time?


The lower part of Skyline is closed but the upper part is still available; come down via Kamoshika or Tanuki or Grand Prix.


Today is the middle day of the long weekend so it will once again be very busy out there! We might get some sun later in the day.


Lifts open 30 minutes longer than usual today and tomorrow.
