Posted on Monday 2nd February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
More snow in Nozawa to report this morning as the complete mountain-wide refresh continues.
Resort reporting up to another 40cm of new snowfall since yesterday.
Some very fine deep conditions to be found this morning, and less people to compete for them. Not that it's a competition of course. ;)
It is a cold morning and the snow continues to fall here in this north east corner of Nagano, and snow is forecast for the day and into tomorrow though some of the forecasts have it easing off tomorrow. Once we get past this bunch of snow clouds we should have a few days of cloud and the chance of some short-lived sun at times. Doesn't look like there's significant snow for the rest of the week.
Doesn't matter for now anyway. Excellent conditions to be found out there.
