Posted on Saturday 31st January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It has been snowing in Nozawa and apparently still is snowing higher up on the mountain now, but for the moment it's just generally kind of cloudy here at base.
There is some new snow to play in though this morning, with the resort reporting 15-20cm of fresh on the upper Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas this morning, less so down here at base.
You know where to head!
We were of course hoping for some particularly exciting amounts of snow to be falling so that's not quite happening just yet. Snowfall is still on the local forecast for the next few days.
Enjoy today, fingers crossed for more fresh to report tomorrow.
