Posted on Tuesday 24th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from another snowing morning here in Nozawa. It's cold too.
Some interesting numbers being reported by the resort this morning ranging from 45cm at Yamabiko to 10cm at Karasawa - and 38cm at Nagasaka. These are the numbers from yesterday afternoon and overnight added up. Perhaps wind can account for this and at my measuring point I have measured 24cm.
Bottom line though is another nice new layer of fresh snow out there.
At the time of writing it seems the Uenotaira quad lift is on hold due to (presumably) wind.
There's more to come as well during the day today and into tomorrow. If you're looking for clearer weather, Thursday is probably the day.
