It is a fine and sunny day in Nozawa, with mild temperatures forecast to reach around 16 degrees early afternoon. Clear skies and fine views from the top of the resort, which is now in the final few days of the season. It is looking like those top runs will be able to stay open until the planned May 6th closing date at the end of Golden Week.

Courses open:
Yamabiko (A-E)
Uenotaira
Kogenashi

Lifts operating:
Nagasaka Gondola
Yamabiko 4-lift
Yamabiki Number Two 4-lift
Uenotaira 4-lift

Tomorrow (another national holiday) looks set to be another fine and sunny day, even warmer than today, with a good chance of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. The sunny weather will hopefully return for the second half of Golden Week though with fine weather currently forecast for Thursday through to Saturday.
