I bring very good news.
Yes, Nozawa has been on the receiving end of a good dump of fresh snow since yesterday and the resort is reporting an impressive 70cm of snow up on Yamabiko.
Surprises are great when they are nice snowy ones. :)
What's more, it's enough for the resort to spring (or is that winter) into action, as they have announced that Nozawa will be opening tomorrow morning.
It's snowing nicely down here at base as well with at least 20cm on the ground and the way it's coming down that will soon add up. Snow forecast for the day, perhaps easing off tomorrow and then maybe not much as we enter the new week. But Nozawa'll be open by then and we'll be able to enjoy the first runs of the season.
Nozawa Onsen will open at least some of the top Yamabiko runs tomorrow.
