Posted on Friday 26th April 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It's one of those mornings where there's a big difference in the temperatures up top and down in the village. The resort is reporting a temp. of +2 up on the top Yamabiko area, while down here in the village it is more like +10 degrees.
A cloudy start to the day in Nozawa and it looks like poor visibility up on those top runs that are open - fog? A chance of rain later and also tomorrow as well, perhaps even a chance of some snowy stuff up top.
It should be a relatively busy weekend coming up as there's 3 days holiday... Monday being a national holiday.
Here's the courses that plan to be open at Nozawa Onsen for that Golden Week period:
Yamabiko (all)
Uenotaira (Snow Park will be open, but no half pipe)
Paradise
