Hello from Nozawa.
Check out what the resort are reporting this morning - 55cm of fresh up on Yamabiko, with 10cm during the day yesterday. That's an impressive number.
Now you know where to be this morning!
There's still a decent amount of fresh lower down the mountain and here at base as well.
I'm liking the look of the forecast as well. While today the snow may ease off and tomorrow start calm and cloudy, snow is due to be back over Nozawa by the end of the day tomorrow and through most of the weekend.
Regular resets. That's what we like. :)
