Posted on Tuesday 2nd April 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
OK so there's another 20cm of fresh snow being reported on the upper slopes of the resort and there's some snow down to base as well which is great to see. What an odd last few days it has been... though no complaints!
The sun is actually out right now but the forecast still says more snow during the day, so perhaps it'll cloud over again and we'll get more fresh. Possibly more through tomorrow morning too. Winter just doesn't seem to want to give up.
