Good morning from Nozawa.


That's it, folks! Later this afternoon the ski lifts will come to a halt and their season will be over. A day of fine and warm weather is forecast.


It has been a long season. Spring seems to have gone on for a long time having started rather early, but before that there were plenty of excellent conditions to enjoy.


Lots more people visiting Nozawa from overseas too - more every year!


The full story is always available by using the archive links below.


This is my last report of the season, but I plan to be back with you here in November as the 2018-2019 approaches.


Thank you for reading.
