Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 36cm Snowfall at base this season 281cm Posted on Wednesday 10th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Now this is more like what we expect here in Nozawa! The resort has reported 40+cm on upper slopes and a good chunk of that down at base as well, and the snow continues to fall now as I write this report. Yes! Yamabiko also - at last - hitting the 2m mark for the official snow depth which is great to see (even though it should have been there come new year!) So conditions this morning should be top rate even if visibility is limited out there. Things may clear to some degree later on with lighter snow forecast. Tomorrow the forecast is for sunshine so an early start should make for an excellent day. Highly recommended if possible to get here for tomorrow rather than the weekend because unfortunately rain and warm temperatures are still probably going to be what's happening on Saturday.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this season 245cm Posted on Monday 8th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Yesterday we had mixed weather conditions here in Nozawa. As can often happen here - snow falling higher up on the top Yamabiko runs with sunshine and part blue skies on lower slopes. The resort reported 2-6cm of fresh snow at 3pm yesterday afternoon (since the morning report), but there's no further cm of snow this morning. This morning the clouds are gone and it's clear and sunny from early on - it's going to be a fine day, just as we were expecting. Very cold early morning too though the sun should be warming things up this afternoon. We're still expecting to be back to snowfall tomorrow as well, so if all goes well we'll need googles and extra layers tomorrow. The heaviest snow is expected tomorrow night though it should hopefully be continuing into Wednesday as well.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Good morning from Nozawa. It's snowing... in a this-season-special kind of way (ie. not huge dump) but the resort reports up to 10cm of snow on the upper slopes this morning and it is continuing to snow as the lifts start moving. Not expected to last that long today though with the day ending up with the sun shining down on us a possibility. From the official info it looks like Challenge 39 has opened up - going to give that a go today. Clear skies and sun are forecast for tomorrow after a cold night tonight. For those of us looking for dumps of snowfall though Tuesday night seems to be what we should be looking forward to. Let's hope it happens.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and it's back to snow again today. Fine weather yesterday and some good conditions to enjoy as well. It got fairly mild, though not like what we had last week thankfully, and there was definitely some snow melt going on but now that we are back to snow again today we should be getting some good cm in today. As much as possible, as tomorrow we're going to be back to clear skies and sunshine again. The weather seems somehow just really confused this season. And not making it any easier for us either! Anyway, snow falling now and falling quite heavily as well. Fingers crossed it continues.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Some very respectable snow numbers since the report yesterday morning with some really heavy snow falling for quite a lot of the day. Proper Nozawa style! The resort made a few updates during the day all adding up to around 50cm of fresh snow in places and not that much less than that down at base either. It was a good day and this morning should be excellent - helped along by some very fine clear skies and sunshine. Going to warm up a little this afternoon, hopefully not too much. Tomorrow is also going to probably be sunny and a bit warmer than today too, with a high of around 6-7 degrees expected at base. Then we come to Saturday which promises snow later in the day and the chance of some rain (please..no) earlier on before the snow - though it'll probably start off as snow on upper parts of the mountain. The roller-coaster like and odd weather of the season continues! (Let's have some more days like yesterday!)

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and we have fresh snow! (* Not that such a thing should be much of a surprise for February in Nozawa!) But yes it's good to have 10+cm of soft snow underfoot this morning and the resort reports 10-15cm across the mountain, and it is still snowing now. Hopefully there'll be more cm of snow to come today and overnight into tomorrow as well with some forecasts telling us to expect snow on Friday too. And then at the end of the weekend and through Monday. Could we be on for a very happy and snowy end to February and beginning of March? Wouldn't that be just what we want!

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa where there has been more snow since yesterday - not as much as the previous day but enough to top up tracks and keep things in good condition. Light snow still falling this morning but it's forecast to stop this morning. Tomorrow and Friday expect sunshine and also temperatures that gradually rise. It's happened quite a few times this season but we have some decent snowfall and then it decides to warm up too much - same story this weekend by the looks of things with temperatures probably rising to 10C or above at base level on Saturday and Sunday. And maybe some rain on Sunday too. Oh dear. Stop it, please!! I was just reading a few of the other reports and I agree. If you are able to, be here today and tomorrow rather than the weekend. I know, it's not often possible. Fingers crossed for a cooler than expected weekend.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa. I'm down with a bad cold at the moment so I wasn't able to get out yesterday and enjoy the fresh snow but friends who came back seemed to have had a good time up there. There was more snow during the day yesterday and overnight with the resort reporting 3-5cm this morning (they also I believe had 10cm during the day on the upper slopes which isn't included). So it should be a decent morning again - perhaps adjusted to 'this season standards'. Cold too this morning with the resort saying it was -10C up on Yamabiko as of 8am. Light snow falling early on due to ease off during this morning. We might even get to see the sun this afternoon. There is regular snow on the weekly forecast which is promising. It might get slightly warmer around Sunday with the chance of some rain at base, but should be cold enough even then to be snowing higher up.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning to you from Nozawa. A bit of snow since yesterday with 5cm up top and it's another quite cold morning. It looks like we're set for a generally cloudy day today, though even now the sun is managing to peek through the clouds in places. So perhaps it might clear up somewhat. Hopefully staying cold at the same time... It should be cold overnight tonight again and tomorrow we are probably going to enjoy some sunshine. Sporadic light snowfall is still there on the forecast over the coming days but I wouldn't expect much from it - think of it as a real bonus if we do get much.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 0cm Snowfall at base this season 472cm Posted on Friday 19th April 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . That's it for this season then. Today is the last day of the season for Nozawa Onsen snow resort and the season has ended with quite cold, wet and foggy conditions. On Tuesday 3rd, Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th of May, the Nagasaka Gondola will be operating, and you can hop on it for free as well. There'll be no snow to ski or board on at the top, but it sounds like there will be a few small events and the Resthouse Yamabiko will also be open for business. If the weather is nice, always a good place to be. No doubt soon after that things will start heating up as we head into summer, and before you know it thoughts will turn to next winter. But how about this past winter? 2015/2016 winter season was definitely a relatively poor season for most snow regions of Japan, including the northern region of Nagano. Please note that I said a relatively poor season. I know lots of people who visited from overseas and were able to have a blast and really loved their time here in Nozawa. While the season started later than planned and ended sooner than planned, there was no unseasonal closing down of lifts and courses necessary etc. It's just that for those of us who know what a 'normal' Nozawa season offers... well, we are probably very spoilt! The positive to take from it is that it was abnormal, so hopefully we can get back to something more like normal next winter season. A 'normal' season here in Nozawa sees us getting very large amounts of regular, consistent snowfall. 30cm and more snowfall overnight in the village is a fairly regular thing in a normal season. During the 2015/2016 season we didn't get much of that at all, and unusually we were often looking at the skies and the forecasts and wondering when the next snow might fall. In my Nozawa Now reports for the season, it is telling that I observed less than half the amount of snowfall down here in the village compared with the previous season (472cm compared with 1044cm in 2014/2015). That's a big difference. If you are reading this report and going about researching Nozawa - and indeed the other regions covered in the SnowJapan daily Now reports - I strongly recommend that you take a good look through the archive reports from previous seasons and not just this most recent season. That way you will get a good idea of how things have been at certain points over a number of years. There are archived reports available going way back to 2002, so you'll need a fair bit of time to get through them! Anyway, that is it from me and the Nozawa Now reports for this season. Remember, Nozawa is a fine place to be through the year so perhaps some of you will be visiting before next winter season. Nozawa Onsen 6 day weather forecast (Forecast updated throughout the year) I'll be back with Nozawa Now reports in late autumn in the run up to next season, which will probably be due to start in late November 2016. You might see a few changes to the reports as well, though we'll bring you more news on that kind of thing nearer the time. The guys have been busy for over 3 months now working on new developments for the site. Fingers crossed 2016/2017 will be a good one and we be able to enjoy lots of the Nozawa-rashii (-like) qualities that we love so much. Thanks for reading and see you later in the year. I hope that you have a good May to November wherever in the world you might be.
