Posted on Sunday 25th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Some fresh snow to report this morning - the resort is saying 5cm across the mountain - though it isn't snowing now and is generally cloudy.
It looks like the forecast for tomorrow is sun from the start of the day, so it should be a good one. Beyond that, hmmm, not so much snow and around Wednesday the freezing line goes up and rain looks likely. Beady eye on that + hopefully it'll adjust.
