Posted on Friday 29th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa where I'm happy to report it is snowing.
The resort reports 5cm on upper slopes and since the snow started we have had a dusting and down below and happily avoided the rain that some forecasts were saying might happen. Let's hope that continues, though it is remaining relatively mild and temperature here at base is creeping up to just above zero.
I was just reading the Myoko Now report and have the same feelings... this season it just somehow doesn't seem to want to really relentlessly pound down on us like we are used to here in Nozawa. I want some of that! I want lots of that, in fact - can we get some of it today please?
Snow does feature for most days on the 6-day forecast right now so we remain hopeful for regular and decent snowfall.
