Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 660cm
Posted on Sunday 30th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The numbers I have from the ski area this morning are from yesterday afternoon (sorry I was not able to check later in the day yesterday) though I don't think a 24 hour total will be significantly higher than that. I think it was snowing harder a little to the north this time. Still, a good 20cm or so, and it is snowing still this morning. Once again there's already a light thin layer of snow on Naski's head.
Looks like we are going into a week of mixed weather with snow never too far away, so all being well we will have regular top-ups and perhaps a reset or two. Mid winter through February please!
Lifts rested today: Challenge pair, Utopia pair, Karasawa pair
