Still Snow April Japan
Still Snow April Japan Still Snow April Japan 5cm of fresh snow overnight for Nozawa It’s April and we are still seeing dustings of snow across the top of the resort. Crazy stuff when the Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Tokyo. Mind you it is still pretty chilly there too. Looking at the web cams and the trees up top are doing the frosty frozen broccoli thing. https://nozawa-onsen.com/nozawa-webcams/ This little top up and the sub zero temps should make for some good skiing across the top of the mountain. The resort is only open down to Paradise anyway so you need to download on the Gondola. Guessing the resort is saving things for the weekend when there […]

Really love this time of year exploring nearby towns and mountains and still have the lifts rolling to enjoy the Spring slush on the hill. We also went by the St. Cousair Winery which is an […]
