The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Good morning from Nozawa. It's a bit of a damp/wet morning but from the webcam it looks like the top Yamabiko area is above cloud. A good reason to get up there! Today you can't use the Rinkan course to get back town the mountain as they do something with the snow over there... gondola ride required. The rest of this weeks looks like it'll be a mix of cloud, light rain, perhaps light snow at higher elevations. Sun is more likely around Saturday.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Good morning from Nozawa. It's the last day of March. We have fresh snow. And adjusted ski area operations. First up, snow. Several cm, though it has already gone from roads now. The Yamabiko webcam looks very inviting first thing. Naski appears to have finished daily duties down on the now-closed Hikage base, so I wonder there might be some turns being enjoyed. (Has a bright green vegetable ever been so gnarly?) Forecasts seem kind of unsettled/changeable for the coming week, so we'll just have to see what we end up with. A run of clear days and very warm conditions is not part of the menu. Ski area operations: see below for details. Basically, Rinkan course aside going back to base, it's the top area that remains open... in itself, a pretty big area here at Nozawa. Still over 5 weeks to enjoy.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 44cm Snowfall at base this season 857cm Posted on Wednesday 19th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . I hesitated somewhat posting earlier this morning as I took in the snowfall numbers reported by the ski area. 93cm since lunchtime yesterday up top, with 114cm over 24 hours. And 74cm at Hikage? Wow. Surely we have had a lot of snow -- but I have not seen those numbers (and I can't report what I don't see). After taking a walk around outside, my measurement for the day is 44cm for the 24 hours. I'm thinking wind must have been a factor here, blowing it around. (The Japan Meteorological Agency measurement at nearby Karasawa is 30cm up to 8am). Anyway, keep all that in mind and don't overthink. Numbers/observations will differ. The important bottom line: a lot of snow! This ongoing snowfall isn't going to let up any time soon either. We should expect it through until the weekend and maybe over the weekend too. Wild stuff! It's cold out there and visibility is limited at best. Be careful out there.
