Tons of fresh snowfall! This morning the ski area is reporting 50cm on Yamabiko, 32cm on Uenotaira, 40cm on Hikage and 20cm at Karasawa.

Lots more snow to report along with cold conditions and it continues to fall this morning and due to continue into tomorrow.

Yes, we have a whole lot of snow around this morning, it's still coming down and there's lots more due through tomorrow.

Up to 25cm of fresh snowfall reported by the ski area since yesterday.

We had some more snow during the day yesterday.

Good morning from Nozawa, and a good one it is too. Snow has arrived.

Not a whole lot more to report since yesterday as the snow eased off and this morning there's clear skies above our mountain.

Well, we have had snow. Not as much as we'd like but there's snow on the ground down to base.

We have a little fresh snow this morning. 10cm is being reported by the ski area itself and there's a few down at base.

I bring good news this Sunday morning.

Today was the planned first day of the season and of course that was delayed.

It's November, which means that I am able to say... Nozawa Onsen plans to open later this month!

Hello and good morning from Nozawa Onsen on this last day of the 2020-2021 season - Sunday 9th May 2021.

It's still sunny and a warm early morning, and once again temperatures will be getting quite close to 20C down in the village.
