Posted on Sunday 7th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Nozawa is open! Hurray! 2014-2015 Season In! Etc!
Here we are once again at the beginning of another season, one hopefully full of huge amounts of regular snow (30cm overnight, every night please) and stories that will be told for ages to come.
Fittingly, we have large amounts of snow to enjoy right from the word go. The resort is reporting 65cm of fresh snow on the Yamabiko top area of the resort and 75cm Uenotaira. That's since 3pm yesterday afternoon! There's been a lot down here in the village too.
Great start.
Can you tell I'm excited?
Let me calm down. OK so yes, Nozawa has opened up this morning and the first runs of the season are currently being had as I sit here writing this.
What's open? Basically, the top Yamabiko area of the resort.
Courses:
Yamabiko A
Yamabiko B
Yamabiko C
Yamabiko D
Yamabiko E
Kokenashi
Lifts:
Nagasaka Gondola
Yamabiko Four Lift
Yamabiko Number 2 Four Lift
Anyway, I'm off to go get re-acquainted with above said lifts and courses. Once I've moved some of that snow outside my place.
Let the season begin!
PS Looks like it might be sunny tomorrow. Not much snow after today until end of the week. More on that tomorrow.
