Posted on Saturday 5th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The snow has started.
About 30cm to report this morning and there's going to be a lot more probably over the next two reports.
Naski appears to be sitting out this morning. I think some other people might be doing that too, so it's probably not going to feel like a peak season weekend. (Good for some!)
Just the Utopia and Karasawa pair lifts rested this morning. Otherwise, all go. Perhaps some lifts might be delayed, but not by much.
Let's snowing!
