Posted on Monday 6th May 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
And so here we are - the last day of the season in Nozawa. Looking at the schedules, it seems the last possible lift to ride would be the Skyline connecting pair which should be closing at 4:20pm, but I might be temped to just get up to the top of Yamabiko at 4pm and make that last run down from there.
The sun is out to celebrate as well - celebrate perhaps seems a strange word, but while it's kind of sad for the season to be ending, we can't stop the seasons of course and we can reflect on another fine season here in Nozawa.
It has been another long season too, with plenty of awesome powder days, some warmer bits here and there - hey March, I'm talking about you in particular - but almost always tons of fun and a great atmosphere to boot. Hopefully there will have once again been lots of very happy visitors coming to Nozawa for the first time and going back home and telling everyone about this very charming village. If I may call it so myself!
Thanks for reading our Nozawa Now reports this time - we hope you enjoyed reading them and that they were useful as well. The archive reports are always there so you can always go back and reflect on the season. Often fun to do when it starts getting proper hot in the summer months. Nozawa is a good place to come and escape some of that summer heat as well, of course.
Nozawa Now reports will be back in autumn when it starts cooling down and thoughts turn to the 2013/2014 season.
See you then!
