Posted on Saturday 9th December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The sun is out. There are quite a few people around. I wouldn't be surprised to see our favourite bright green skiing vegetable Naski out and about today!
Is it milder than we would like? Sure. But I'm itching to get out there myself this morning. Got to play with what we got, right?
While today will be the warmest (and hopefully the warmest of the month/winter!), temps are going to gradually drop.
Nothing dramatic on the cards just yet.
