Base up top: 275 cm Temperature; -2 Degrees Base at bottom; 190 cm New Snow: 20 cm Apologies for the late snow report, I was not up getting mind blowing powder runs unfortunately.

It is coming down again in Nozawa Onsen with almost 30cm or as we like to call it the “Magic Foot” falling again in the last few hours. The dump we were expecting last night was delayed and the deluge began at about 7 am this morning. It has been bucketing ever since and everything[…]

Base up top: 250 cm Temperature; -5 Degrees Base at bottom; 170 cm New Snow: 0 cm Seems like quite some time since have posted a Snow Report for Nozawa without any new snow! Yesterday was the day, we did not get the Blue bird start we had been hoping for, even got a[…]
