Posted on Monday 25th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Nozawa and it's keeping really cold at the moment.


I have some decent snowfall to report this morning as well with the resort officially reporting 18-22cm of fresh snow across the mountain since yesterday morning; I have had to move around that amount from down here at base too.


The only difference I can make out in resort operations for this morning is that the Jumping Course is now open. Untouched fresh snow and a decent steep, I like it.


Snow is forecast for most of the day today and the skies are supposed to be clearing up by tonight.


Tomorrow will probably bring clear skies and sunshine but hopefully it will keep cold.


Mid-week it might get slightly milder but there's more snowfall on the way by the weekend.
