Posted on Wednesday 3rd March 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Lifts I believe got moving yesterday and this morning things are altogether more calm.
And... (fast forwarding through yesterday...) really good fresh layer of snow! The ski areas has reporting over 30cm of it on the upper areas and there's 20cm of so around base too. Very good to be able to report that and runs should have a fresh feeling this morning. It is colder too, though we're going to be back to mild again tomorrow and Friday. All over the place!
Early snow is easing off and clearer skies are due later.
Today should be good.
