A blizzard in Nozawa just hit us and the whole place has turned white once again. Up top is a bit of a white out and lots of people seem to be coming back down early. The good news is we have had over 10cm of fresh snow in about 2 hours and it is starting to ease!

It started this morning like it finished yesterday - nice and sunny - but some dark clouds rolled in and it quickly changed later on this morning. Yesterday was an amazing day on the mountain with 30cm of fresh and beautiful sunshine in the afternoon.

Some of the season long gang have been claiming it as the best day of the season, but I have heard that mentioned a few times before now!

The best may be ahead of us with a few heavy dumps and lots of snowman marks on the radar in the coming week. Expect lots tonight and over the next few days. So dig out the powder straps and hang on for a great ride.
