Posted on Tuesday 5th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Well, this morning is better than yesterday which was not a very appealing on in terms of weather conditions.
There is a dusting of snow to report (the resort reporting 2cm up top!)
At the moment the sun is out but there is still a lot of cloud around. If the forecast is right, it'll clear up during the day but shouldn't be warming up too much. Kind of more of the same tomorrow, perhaps a little milder; and then back to snow from Thursday.
There's been a fair amount of melt with the weather the last few days and snow conditions aren't going to be the best at the moment. We'll need another fresh delivery to get us back to fluffy powder. Still, there is of course a lot of snow around and it doesn't need to be perfect to have a great day on the slopes.
And I'm off out there now! :)
