Posted on Tuesday 28th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa and some nice numbers being reported by the resort, along with some fresh snow down to village too.
Nearly 30cm of fresh snowfall according to the resort up on the top Yamabiko course areas - pushing the official snow depth up there to a very impressive 435cm. (Golden Week is going to be absolutely no problem up there, unless we get some kind of freak heatwave in the meantime!)
Around 10cm down at base, so mountain-wide fresh this morning.
Can't believe it's almost April, almost feels like mid-winter and the resort is saying that it's -7C up at Yamabiko early morning. So you still need to wrap up good before heading out.
Some mixed forecasts for the coming week so let's just keep an eye on them and see what happens.
