Greetings Nozawa-loving friends.
It's really good to be back. Since we last talked, we have endured a hot and sticky summer and an unseasonably warm autumn too. That seems to have been the theme of the year, and it's not one that I am keen on!
So, the 2023 green season is now officially over at the resort, and everyone is busy preparing for winter. Everyone has different things to do, from roping up trees to checking ski lifts and other equipment.
During a cold snap in late October, we received some snow on the upper areas of the mountain, but that has gone now with warmer temperatures since then. This morning at 9am it is just over 10C in the village.
By the end of the coming weekend, it should be getting colder again, and there should be some more snowy sprinkles on the mountain.
Nozawa Onsen plans to open on Saturday, 25th November 2023, which is now less than three weeks away. Obviously, we'll need snow before then to do that.
