Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 27cm
Posted on Sunday 8th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Nozawa is reporting 20cm of fresh snowfall on the top Yamabiko runs this morning and a nice cold temperature of -6C, with a snow depth of 65cm. They are labelling conditions as 'powder', and I would expect some nice conditions up there this morning.
We got a bit of snowfall down at base and village level as well, perhaps 5-10cm or so in places.
No further runs opening up just yet. The resort will certainly be getting more of the upper part of the mountain open as soon as they can, so we obviously need a bit more snow for that to happen. Hopefully by this time next week we'll see some big changes.
For tomorrow though, the sun should be back along with milder conditions.
