Nozawa Snow Forecast 2026


The countdown to winter has begun in Nozawa Onsen!
Early forecasts are pointing to another cold and snowy season ahead, with long-range models suggesting slightly above-average snowfall and below-average temperatures from December through February. Perfect conditions for deep powder days and that classic Nozawa magic.

After a warm autumn, the chill is already setting in across Nagano, and locals are getting their skis waxed and snow shovels ready. The first snowfalls are expected on the upper slopes of Mt. Kenashi around late November, with the official resort opening planned for the last weekend of November (snow permitting). Read more here; https://www.nozawaholidays.com/noza…/nozawa-ski-open-date/
We may even see a sneaky fall next week. Part of Hokkaido are already showing some dustings of early snow.
Whether you’re chasing your first run of the season or soaking in a hot onsen while snowflakes fall around you, this winter in Nozawa is shaping up beautifully.

冬のカウントダウンが始まりました!
今年の野沢温泉も、寒くて雪の多いシーズンになりそうです。長期予報によると、12月から2月にかけては平年より低めの気温とやや多めの降雪が見込まれています。パウダースノーを楽しむには最高の条件ですね。
秋の暖かさも少しずつ和らぎ、長野の山々では冬の気配が漂い始めています。毛無山の上部では11月下旬ごろに初雪が期待され、**スキー場のオープンは12月上旬(積雪状況による)**を予定しています。
ゲレンデで今シーズン最初の滑りを楽しむのも良し、温泉に浸かりながら雪を眺めるのも良し。野沢の冬は、今年もきっと特別な時間を届けてくれるでしょう。
