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

Snowfall at base this season 9cm

Posted on Friday 6th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Hello from Nozawa Onsen.


It's good to see another fresh blanket of white snow down to base this morning. There's around 5cm of it down to the lower base areas, probably a bit more than that on the upper slopes but there's no official report to relay to you on that score.


They are reporting a snow depth of 10-15cm on Yamabiko and Uenotaira. That isn't enough to be able to open up those top slopes yet though, unfortunately.


Fingers crossed we get more cm accumulating today and then some later Saturday into Sunday...
