Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 11cm
Snowfall at base this season 157cm

Posted on Friday 31st January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


It's great to see some fresh snow on the ground this morning.


The resort is reporting 20cm of fresh up on the top Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas, 10cm at Hikage and Nagasaka and 5cm down at Karasawa. I am measuring 11cm which goes on the report.


So it should be good up there.


These are not huge amounts of snow yet, of course, and we require more - and there should be more to report tomorrow, with heavier snowfall due overnight tonight.


Fingers crossed. Have fun and see you in the morning.
