Nozawa Holidays

Even snowing on the sunny days Even snowing on the sunny days   Got a bit of a nice surprise this morning when opened my window to see some decent size flakes lofting from the sky. The weatherman had promised me sunshine. Dont think the snow will last or make much of a difference but pretty to see all the same. Another magic day on the slopes yesterday with a mix of cloud and sunshine. Can feel things starting to get a bit quieter around town too and with March just 2 days away and the start of spring really looking forward to the transition.     If still keen to come up and take advantage of this 4 meter […]

Best day of the season again 🙂 Best day of the season again 🙂   Depending on what kind of skiing you like we have had multiple amazing days over the whole season really but particularly the last few weeks. I love both snowy days and sunny days but after non stop snow it was pretty amazing to have a full blown sunshine bluebird day. The 16cm of fresh on top of all that snow helped too for perfect conditions across the whole mountain. Looking out the window this morning and looks like some scattered cloud set to pause the Sunshine run, may even get some light snow up top. Big night last night for the Nozawa Holidays Annual Retro […]
