Posted on Saturday 29th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It has been snowing in the early hours of this morning and the ski area is reporting up to 9cm as of 8:12am. My measurement is 8cm.
A nice spring bonus.
It's definitely colder, too, just under 0C, and while the snow might ease off soon this morning, there is the chance of more tomorrow.
And is that snow on the forecasts for Thursday, too?!
Naski looks pleased, as you can see below.
