Posted on Monday 30th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It is a fine and sunny morning across the region (some low cloud aside). Still quite cold, but it will be warming up by this afternoon as the sun gets to work.
The Yamabiko Four lift seems to be undergoing some kind of inspection this morning, meaning that a few top runs are not available at the moment. All other lifts are open.
30 minute extension to opening times until Friday (3rd January) and night skiing at Nagasaka until Saturday 4th.
We are in one of the most popular periods of the season, so there are lot of people around.
Happily, we have a lot of lovely snow for everyone to enjoy and of course Nozawa is pretty big.
More fresh snow forecast for New Years Eve.
