Posted on Sunday 27th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Another 25cm being reported since yesterday afternoon by the resort and there would have been more during the day too (I didn't catch those numbers...)


The snow is continuing this morning but should be finishing up by this evening. Maybe some sun tomorrow morning and then back to snow by tomorrow night. It's a good pattern, let's hope it keeps going like that for a few months!
