Hello from Nozawa and there's not much to see this morning. Visibility wise. And that is because it is snowing once again! A few cm down at base and likely more than that higher up. In fact, the resort have just reported 15cm of fresh snow on the top Yamabiko area. So it should definitely be worth a look this morning. Nice.
That new snow has pushed the official snow depth on the top runs back up to 300cm.
There is lots of cloud forecast for the day today - this snow is due to ease off in the morning 0 and tomorrow... will this be the last snow of the season?
