Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 8cm Snowfall at base this season 58cm Posted on Monday 28th December 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Snow continued yesterday though eased off somewhat since the morning and no new snowfall overnight. And the sun is out this morning. It's cold and frosty early on and should be keeping cold even with the sun out. That's the kind of sunny weather we like! Still, the Yamabiko area is now reporting 70cm and it was great to be out in the fresh snow yesterday morning. Quite a lot of people agreed, there were a fair few people around! From 2pm yesterday the resort opened the Rinkan course to connect the Paradise course with the Nagasaka Gondola. For now it is just to use as means to get back to base. The resort also seems to have the Yunomine pair and Mizunashi lifts and associated courses now operating/open. Snow clouds are due back over the region later today so not sure how long the sunny conditions will last, with snow forecast overnight and through the day tomorrow. A decent snowfall again should allow more to open up...

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . There was some talk of a possible opening today with the snow that we got during the day yesterday, but the resort have decided there's not quite enough yet to get things started. Apparently 25cm of snowfall up top and a good 10-15cm on lower areas as well. It seems like the skies are clearing up this morning and there may even be some sun in store for us today but a return to snow overnight tonight is possible. Please bring us some more so the resort folk can get some lifts moving! I will report on the latest tomorrow morning.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 18cm Snowfall at base this season 178cm Posted on Thursday 21st January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It is a good morning in Nozawa. New snowfall to report - up to 35cm of it on the upper slopes reported by the resort since yesterday morning - less wind and more of the mountain open. Thanks to the fresh snowfall, Skyline is now open along with a number of other courses that were not open. The snow depth numbers are still very low to what we are used to of course. On this day last year the official snow depth on the upper Yamabiko area was 400cm (compared with 135cm today) and on the lower Karasawa area it was 220cm (compared with 50cm today). That's actually a pretty stark contrast isn't it, even considering that last season we enjoyed a really great start. It's the fresh snow on base that is important to us in the here and now, though with much less of a base that may well impact the length of the season. So - as if it needs saying! - we want as much snow as possible to try and catch up to the norm. The forecast is for light snow at times today and tomorrow to be followed by potentially heavy snowfall over the weekend, in particular on Sunday. Onegai shimasu. For the moment though, there were lots of people eager to get up on the first lifts this morning and I think I will go and join them having fun in this fresh snow.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa. Light snowfall this morning with the resort reporting 5cm across the mountain since yesterday. What about this storm, I hear you ask. Well, snow is forecast for the day today as well as tomorrow and indeed actually through until at least the weekend. So we should be getting regular fresh snowfall. How much? I'll just let you know each day as the various forecasts just don't seem to be particularly reliable at the moment and often say different things. It does look most likely that we will see the heaviest snowfall here in Nozawa around tomorrow night and into Wednesday. It's still tagged as 'heavy snow', so fingers crossed. I'm saving my thoughts until we see what happens over the next few days! I'll update you tomorrow morning with the latest.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa where... it's sunny. Hmmm, where be the storm? We did get some snowfall yesterday with the resort yesterday afternoon reporting 3-5cm across the mountain, but no more snowfall this morning and as I said sun along with some blue skies over us at the start of the day. Good news this morning is that the upper parts of Skyline are once again open (lower part still closed) as well as Schneider and Kamoshika course. A good storm for a few days would hopefully get most of the rest of them open... it is still being promised by the forecast.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and just a few cm down here at base really with the resort reporting 3-7cm of fresh snowfall since yesterday. Very light snow falling as I write this with light snow forecast for pretty much all of the day today. Tomorrow might start off cloudy (maybe even a bit of sunshine according to some forecasts), but by the end of the day it should be snowing and there's a good chance of heavy snowfall going into Sunday as well. Feels cold this morning and now -2 here in the village and it probably won't change much during the day. Expect Sunday in particular to be colder. Fingers crossed!

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Hello from Nozawa. Snow was falling up on the mountain yesterday and since yesterday morning the resort has reported up to 18cm up there. Much less on lower areas and here in the village. It is a cold morning again with temperatures down at -4C now and it probably won't warm up into positive numbers today. Snowfall is expected late tonight as we enter Sunday and there is a good chance of quite a lot of snow falling tomorrow as well - especially when we get to tomorrow night. Some local forecasts even have a few spells of sunshine lined up for tomorrow before that heavy snow arrives. --- Nighta on the Nagasaka course area from tonight and then every Saturday over the next few months.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this season 160cm Posted on Wednesday 20th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa where the storm has hit - wind in particular, meaning that the upper areas of the mountain are this morning closed as I write this report. Hopefully they will be able to open if conditions improve but for the moment the open lifts are as noted below and the forecast is for windy conditions for the day. The resort is reporting 20cm of snowfall on the upper areas this morning and 15cm on the Nagasaka area. A strong northerly wind is blowing snow around making for bad visibility and also lots of drifting which in turn makes it difficult to tell just how much snow has fallen. There's a heavy snow warning out currently and we expect more today and perhaps quite a lot too. Bring it on, I say. Forecast is looking pretty good for the coming week too.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 235cm Posted on Sunday 31st January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the forecasts did tell us to expect some snowfall overnight - and we got some, a modest 5cm or so. This morning there's some breaks in the cloud for us here in the village but I can see that visibility is very limited up on the Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas... it might even be snowing up there still - it was down here until just before. It will likely clear up fairly quickly though and we're forecast a generally cloudy day with the chance of more snow overnight (probably light snow again). Not much else to report really at the moment as we fast approach February. In the coming days I'll take a look back at the season so far and compare snowfall with previous seasons. Have a good Sunday.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this season 237cm Posted on Monday 1st February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the first day of February. Light snow is falling this morning and just a couple of cm down at base with 5cm being reported by the resort on the top Yamabiko runs. The webcams show limited visibility on the upper parts of the mountain early on. Snow showers on the forecast for most days over the coming week with the most potential for a decent amount of snow falling looking like it will be on Friday - before that it will probably just be light snow without that much in terms of new cm. Still, it is keeping cold and should be so through the week. Here's to a February that will bring lots of Nozawa-like snowfall.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 239cm Posted on Friday 5th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the snowfall I have to report this morning is similar to yesterday ranging from a dusting on lower slopes to 5cm on upper slopes. I so miss being able to often report 30cm of fresh dumpage in the village, and I still optimistically hope we'll get to some of that this season - though some locals are more of the 'this is how the season will be' kind of thinking now. So I'm getting excited about what is on the forecast. After some light snow today/tonight perhaps, it's heavy snow forecast tomorrow night (well on some forecasts anyway). Monday is scheduled currently to be clearer and sunny and that to be followed by a return to snowy conditions and the chance of another decent dump. Fingers crossed everyone. Just now there's a lot of fog up top (possibly light snow? - the resort was reporting light snow up there as of 7:30am), making visibility limited in some places. Better in others and maybe it'll clear up this morning. It's going to be a busy weekend. Let's hope there's lots of fresh snow to play in come Sunday morning.
