Good evening, and I bring good news. Real news....
We had more snow yesterday and Nozawa have announced that they are going to open on Saturday 1st December as planned.
They plan to have the Nagasaka Gondola opening at 8:40am, and also the Yamabiko No2 Four Lift and the Yamabiko Four Lift will be operating. Courses that will be open are all of the Yamabiko Courses (A-E) and also the Kokenashi A Course.... so basically the top bit.
From opening until Friday 21st December a one day lift ticket will be the special price of 3000 yen (adults), 1500 yen (under 15s) and 2000 yen for seniors.
It has been a fine day here. If you do plan to be around for opening, be prepared for snowfall as we have a cold snowy front due late Friday into Saturday which should top up the slopes good and make for some very nice opening conditions up there.
Let's Nozawa! First one up wins!
