Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 27cm Snowfall at base this season 341cm Posted on Wednesday 8th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Right, here we go. It's time for a refresh! Check out the snowfall numbers reported by the ski area this morning (below): a curious range of 15-38cm around lower areas and 20-21cm in higher elevations. Interesting, for sure! My measurement for the morning is... 27cm and that is almost the same as the 26 reported by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency), which, by the way, is quite close to Karasawa. All that snow has all come overnight and a lot of it in the several hours before leading up to opening. It is snowing lightly as of 8:45am and about -2C. So, there should be some nice fresh untouched snow out there this morning. Forecasts tempt us with tales of more snow coming over the next few days, possibly heavy at times. Sounds like conditions by the weekend should be tip-top once again! Naski will be pleased.

Viz is still 500 m, so this is perfect conditions as far as I'm concerned. It's supposed to snow all day today, with the wind picking up even more in the afternoon. Small point of concern is the temp might climb up to around zero this afternoon, so that'll change the snow texture a bit for the powder junkies. The Gondola is closed today due to the wind. Since the wind is forecast to increase, I'm sure the Gondola will stay closed all day. Think snow. Furano Zone -- All open. Kitanomine -- Gondola closed for wind today. Wind is up to 50 km/h on top.
