Nozawa Onsen Snow Report – Friday

New Snow (Resort): 0cm
New Snow (Village): 0cm
Weather: Fine and warm
Snow Depth: 175cm (Yamabiko)
Outlook: some rain expected today, becoming heavy snow overnight.
Open Areas: Almost everything is open except Kurokura and Hachiman. Kandahar is open on both sides.

Thankfully the rain has held off and it is another spring like day in Nozawa today. Yesterday evening was warm, and the temperature was above zero all over the mountain. This means that conditions are wet all over, just like skiing at the end of March.

Winter is set to return after a brief period of rain later in the day. Very heavy snow is expected to fall overnight which will undoubtedly bring smiles to the faces of the powder starved. Stick watch coming a bit later on today.
