Posted on Saturday 2nd December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Nozawa.
There is a light dusting of snowfall on the ground this morning down to base areas and I'm feeling on the generous side this morning and clocking up 1cm on the report. The resort is reporting another 5cm up on the top Yamabiko area.
The resort has also opened the Uenotaira slopes as well now, so that adds another 2km or so of beginner/intermediate terrain available.
Cloud cover over the mountain early on but things will probably get clearer later on and we are forecast sunshine through the day tomorrow with a high of around 7-8C at base.
