The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It's snowing folks! Snowfall during the day yesterday with 5+cm across the mountain and some more on top of that overnight. Cold too with the top Yamabiko area reporting a temperature of -8 degrees. Put those extra layers back on! Snow continues to fall now so let's hope we can get more cm before it eases off as we enter tomorrow. It looks like once this has passed, we can expect spring conditions to return fairly quickly and into next week. But this morning is a good chance to get that feel of fresh once again.

Snow is forecast for the day today, maybe a break in it during the day tomorrow but more fresh snow due again by tomorrow evening. At the time of writing, no word on any changed to what will be open today at Nozawa Onsen. I would not be surprised though if more of the resort opened as more snow falls though. Check with them if you are going to be here. Should be fun up there this morning. Be sure to wrap up well though and don't get too excited - visibility is limited. Great stuff. Loads of snow please!

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 . It's early report time this morning. I wish I could say that it's because I'm off up on the first Gondola, but unfortunately it's Nagano City that beckons today. Some early morning valley cloud aside, looking up and we have some fine looking blue skies and the sun starting to work it's magic on the slopes. It's going to be a top morning even if cloud is forecast to be moving in once again during the day. Snowfall during the day yesterday but none overnight - cold start to the day with temperatures up on the top areas down to -9C. Here in the village area it's a cold -5C, with a high forecast of +2C. There might be some snowfall overnight into tomorrow. So catch the sun while you can! Resort news. If you ever wanted a go at some wiggling round those poles that you see ski racers wiggling round, now's your chance. Well, on Monday 26th anyway. Up on the Paradise course, you can have a go at the 'alpen pole' course. It's free and there's going to be rental helmets provided for free as well... and also some advice.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It hasn't been the best 24 hours in the season. Rain yesterday put a damper on things somewhat, but it is kind of back to... wet... snow this morning. For the moment it is coming down and there's a few cm on lower slopes. Temperature hovering around 0 degrees at base. Better news up top with the resort reporting up to 20cm up there, so you know where to head this morning. This snowfall is not expected to last that long unfortunately, with cloudy conditions forecast for the afternoon today, and tomorrow the sun is due to be out. So definitely not best powder conditions just now, but we have to take a few dips in a season to enjoy it when it's the best. (Right? I'm trying to convince myself!) For the next potentially heavy snowfall, look towards Tuesday into Wednesday.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It has been snowing in Nozawa and apparently still is snowing higher up on the mountain now, but for the moment it's just generally kind of cloudy here at base. There is some new snow to play in though this morning, with the resort reporting 15-20cm of fresh on the upper Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas this morning, less so down here at base. You know where to head! We were of course hoping for some particularly exciting amounts of snow to be falling so that's not quite happening just yet.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 10cm Snowfall at base this season 721cm Posted on Saturday 24th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It's a cold start to the morning in Nozawa and still lots of clouds around but we're expecting a clear up quite quickly with the sun to be shining down on us before too long. So it should warm a little as well with a high of +1 forecast later, so not too much. I wasn't around to catch how much snow the resort recorded by the afternoon, so the numbers below are since then and the resort is late in posting lower numbers this morning. I'm guessing up to 10cm more than those up top, but... that's just a guess. Whatever, there's a good new 20cm of fresh snow up on the top areas of the mountain this morning and I would expect the much better conditions up there this morning (obviously). Forecast for today is sun then but what about tomorrow. Chance of light snow during the night but a mix of cloud and sun is on the local forecast for now. Have a great weekend wherever you are.
