Blue skies over Nozawa! Yes, shocking as it is but it today is going to be fine, close to clear - just some cloud - and sunny... perhaps clouding a bit later on in the day. Temperatures are down there this chilly morning though it is going to warm up somewhat, with local forecasts giving us a high of around +4 later on.

This morning should be fantastic. If only for the somewhat rare sun!

Tomorrow is forecast cloudier conditions and we should see a return of some snowfall (alas with a chance of some rain down at village level before then).

Anyway my slightly selfish quest for first tracks this morning means the resort hasn't updated their info just yet at this early time, for which I apologise.
