Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 27th January 2019 It seems as though the mountains of snow which were forecast to fall overnight came a little early. We saw in excess of 60 centimetres fall between open and close yesterday, with only 25 centimetres overnight. Of course, we’d be hard to please being disappointed about 25 cm.[…]

Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 15th of January 2021

For any Nozawa regulars you will know that today is a special day in Nozawa. Every year on the 15th of January we hold the famous Nozawa Onsen Fire Festival. An amazing cultural spectacle steeped in history and tradition. 
Unfortunately like many events this year around the globe, it has been cancelled. This as far as we can tell from the history books is the first time since records have begun that the Festival has not gone ahead. The festival has been running for centuries now.  Even in the years where we have had crazy amounts of snow falling the local villagers have come out to appease the gods and ward off the bad luck. 
After this strange year gone by everyone is praying for a healthy one ahead. 
Check out more on the Festival here https://www.nozawaholidays.com/news/nozawa-onsen-fire-festival-2019/

Temp at the top; -8 degrees early warming up 
New snow since close; 2 cm 
Base at the top; 240cm
Snow conditions; Another fantastic day for the groomers
Weather; Sunny day with a cool start should warm up

On the snow front has been a few days now without reporting any fresh snow. Feels a bit weird after the relentless start to the season. Beautiful sun filled day to enjoy on the slopes today though. The Hikage Gondola is closed for maintenance but can access all runs from the Nagasaka Gondola. Still looking like that cool change and snow to start falling tomorrow for a fun weekend ahead in Nozawa. 

If you are keen to get back to see the amazing Fire Festival in Nozawa next year better book soon as January is filling fast. Here is a link to get an obligation free quote from the team;  https://www.nozawaholidays.com/bookings/

Stay safe and dream of Fire and Ice in Nozawa

Exploring the laneways of Nozawa Nozawa Onsen S Exploring the laneways of Nozawa 
 
Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 14th of January 2021

Who enjoys exploring the little laneways around the Village of Nozawa? This little corner is one of my favourites. Who knows where it is? There is an old house on the left with a beautiful garden and the path leads up to Kawahara Yu Onsen. The convenience store is on the other side and we often drop in for a cold beer with Kubota san the owner in Summer. The village also holds the awesome night Markets in June with great little stalls along the lane. 

Temp at the top; -2 degrees
New snow since close; 0 cm 
Base at the top; 245cm
Snow conditions; Great day for the groomers
Weather; Rays of sun but clouds over Nigata may snow later

Feels like we are in a bit of a transition stage today. The powder probably saw the end of the best yesterday so today will be better for the groomers. Nice and sunny at the moment but snow clouds looming from the west and the weatherman predicts a bit of a dusting for the top this afternoon. Tomorrow will be full blown sun and warm so should be a fun day. Heard there is some live music on the deck at Mt Dock Gondola Cafe below the Nagasaka Gondola. Should be a good day for it. 
Still shaping up to be a swift Siberian Change from Saturday Afternoon with freezing level dropping to the ocean and heavy snow expected. 

Stay safe and a good few days to catch up on snow clearing and laneway exploring in Nozawa

Sunshine after snowy days in Nozawa Nozawa Onse Sunshine after snowy days in Nozawa 
 
Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 13th of January 2021

After some early morning cloud has burned off the blue skies are coming out for a glorious day in Nozawa. Just a light dusting overnight after a pretty windy day up top yesterday. It remained cool overnight so the snow conditions should still be great on the hill. 
Looks beautiful with all the sunshine, check out the web cams but be warned the slopes are pretty empty https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/

Temp at the top; 4 degrees
New snow since close; 1 cm 
Base at the top; 250cm
Snow conditions; Still powder stashes about and amazing on the groomers 
Weather; Clearing for a sunny day 

This little road is on the outskirts of the village and does not see a lot of traffic. So it is one that does not have road heating so the snow has built up there and would need 4WD or chains to get up on that road. Most other streets in town are now clear especially with this sunshine on them. Still a lot of snow about the village. The Snow Forecast has improved and looks like a more serious dump this coming weekend followed by another from Monday Night. Back to back we could see up to another meter fall. Temps are going to climb a bit in the sun but back to freezing from Saturday afternoon. 

Stay safe and catch some rays.

Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 12th of January 2021

Nice cold morning in Nozawa and with the cloud cover there is going to be plenty of fresh snow on offer from yesterday. No snow overnight but all the weekend crowd have headed off so it is going to be super quiet on the slopes today so fresh tracks for the lucky souls that can get up there. This year the week days will be even quieter than usual with none of our lovely overseas guests able to make it. 

Temp at the top; -6 degrees
New snow since close; 0 cm 
Base at the top; 260cm
Snow conditions; Still lots of fresh snow about to enjoy 
Weather; Overcast and we may get some light snow later today 

Yesterday was again a mind blowing day on the slopes with perfect Siberian powder on offer at every turn. There were a lot of hands in the air and deep smiles at the bottom of the runs. Our next major system is looking like next weekend and also a bit expected Thursday so will be a good week to catch up on the shovelling. After the past few weeks of constant snow there is plenty of that to do! 

Stay safe and start digging.

Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 11th of January 2021

The walls on the little tracks that run between the neighbourhoods in the village keep growing and you could probably lose a child or small adult in amongst the beautiful snow maze. Another 20cm fallen overnight and will be another awesome day on the slopes in Nozawa today. Fresh snow and a chilly -11 degrees guarantee some amazing lines to be had across the resort today. 

Temp at the top; -11 degrees
New snow since close; 20 cm 
Base at the top; 280cm
Snow conditions; Another day in paradise 
Weather; Snowing early starting to clear 

It has been an amazing run so far this season and we are just 1 month in. There have been no shortage of epic days on the hill. The long weekend finishes today and it will be pretty quiet from here on in except the weekend crowds which without a public holiday will be just Saturday and a half day on Sunday. So if you can get up or work from home it could be well worth your time to base yourself in Nozawa for a few weeks or months this season. Just email the girls on team@nozawaholidays.com to check out some amazing deals.

Looking ahead and the forecast is calling for more sunshine than we are used to. Could our luck be running out? Stay tuned as winter is a long way from over yet in Nozawa

What a Weekend in Nozawa. Nozawa Onsen Snow Rep What a Weekend in Nozawa. 
 
Nozawa Onsen Snow Report 10th of January 2021

Both these photos were taken this weekend! The snowy one was this morning and the sunny one yesterday afternoon. It actually looks the same out there now with the sun back out. Check out the web cams it looks magnificent https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/
Link in bio

Temp at the top; -6 degrees
New snow since close; 30 cm 
Base at the top; 290cm
Snow conditions; Amazing snow across the whole resort 
Weather; Four seasons in one day dumping this morning and glorious sunshine now! 

Yesterday was off the hook. Beautiful dry fresh powder after the morning snow and today was pretty much a carbon copy. We actually had 30cm or a “Magic Foot” of snow fall in the last 24 hours. 13cm last night and 17cm this morning. To top it off we had a festival in town last night with taiko drumming and junken to celebrate the long weekend. So good times in Nozawa for the fortunate ones that are here. 

Looks like the sunny conditions are set to stay for a few days now so we didn’t quite hit the 3 meter base mark but we got close enough. With all this snow and not too many people about after tomorrow it is promising to be a fun week ahead. 

Stay safe and give thanks to the Weather Man.
