Posted on Monday 7th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The huge snow has continued with the ski area reporting another 90cm on upper areas. When it snows like this it's truly awe-inspiring. Totally deep conditions out there this Monday morning, enough to easily get lost in. Know where you are going and be extra careful, is what Naski just told me. (After a few days break, Naski is out and smiling on the Hikage area this morning). The ski area is making a point of asking people not to venture out into strictly off-limits areas due to the danger.
OK it's still snowing this morning but we're heading out of this storm and expecting a few days of clearer weather this week.
Phew!
This is full-on Nozawa, truly excellent conditions at the moment.
