Snowfall at base this season 182cm
Posted on Sunday 14th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
More fresh snowfall to report, though not quite the amounts I am reading about on some of the other Now reports on SnowJapan - well done Nozawa and Myoko!
It sounds like it is going to be a good December for many of the snow regions of Japan.
OK so about 10cm more this morning and snow falling still now, though we expect it to get less later on today. But more due around Wednesday and strong winds forecast as well.
Great conditions out there. Just very cold. And snowy.
The cheaper early season lift ticket prices (3000 yen for adults, 1500 yen for childen) are available until 20th December.
