Posted on Saturday 7th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa.
Some snow overnight though probably not enough for a full reset - the ski area is reporting up to 12cm in upper areas.
(Very) light snow falling as I post this report down at base with fair visibility around lower areas but much more limited on the mountain.
Snowfall expected over the weekend and perhaps into Monday morning. Heaviest is expected tomorrow.
