As a kid you often dream of Santa and snow covered trees and cute little houses. If you woke up in Nozawa this morning you would have been pretty happy!
With 75cm of snow falling in this recent storm and then clear skies this morning the scene is set for a perfect Christmas day. Temperatures were down to -10C overnight, but round abouts 0C at noon.
Yesterday the snow was relentless just bucketing on us all day and there were many reports of waist deep powder runs on the mountain. It snowed right up until the close of lifts yesterday and with no crowds to compete with this morning should be more of the same but with much better visibility.
The forecast is for a bit more snow tonight and into tomorrow followed by a few sun filled days Thursday and Friday as we run up to the New Year holidays.
We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from snowy and sunny Nozawa Onsen.
