Posted on Friday 9th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Nozawa.


I'm off to Tokyo this morning and so an early report; but I wish I was staying here...!


A bit of snow on the ground with some snowfall overnight and the resort reporting up to 5cm.


Looks like it's going to be another really nice start to the day and sun is forecast for today and tomorrow.


Tomorrow still going to get rather mild (temps up to around 6 or 7C during the day) but we should be back to snow by - and during - Sunday. Watch out for the chance of rain before the snow comes though, particularly at lower elevations.
