Posted on Saturday 28th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Hurray! Fresh snow to report this morning.
20cm on the top areas of the resort and 10cm around base.
Feels colder as well and about -2 down here, with the resort logging a temperature of -9 up at Yamabiko. So chilly up there, need to get wrapped up good.
Limited early morning visibility on the upper slopes but the light snow that is still falling is set to ease this morning and we might even get some clearer skies and sun later on.
It's Saturday so that means nighta tonight.
Tomorrow? Bit milder, cloudy with rain later on at base turning hopefully to snow again.
