Posted on Sunday 6th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
I'll post more tomorrow when hopefully things will be calmer but for now... just crazy snowfall the last day.
I've put the snowfall numbers from the ski area in two chunks this morning - the chunk from yesterday and then the overnight.
As you can see the total snowfall on the upper areas is a whopping 109cm and Hikage has also reported 100cm. We certainly have had a very large amount of snow and it is still snowing. Visibility is very limited on all but lower areas, where it's still kind of limited.
Top lifts are delayed due to the snow.
These conditions are not for everyone. Some will of course love them, some will wait for clearer skies to enjoy all this new snow.
If you are out there, take care!
