Bars Opening Nozawa Onsen
Bars Opening Nozawa Onsen Trees that please in Nozawa This shot from yesterday when the trees up top at Yamabiko were laden heavy with frozen branches. Even after seeing these for many years always find Mother Nature amazing. Who else loves the frozen trees? Bit of a mixed bag today with cloud and sunshine. Pretty sunset right now for the last run down of the day. We had a bit of fresh snow on the ground yesterday which has kept the base hovering at 40cm up top. Looks like another sunny day tomorrow ahead of a serious North West change on Sunday Night which should bring with it around a Magic Foot or so of fresh snow. Nice cold temps […]

Early Bird Deals Japan
Early Bird Deals Japan First day of the Season in Nozawa Onsen! Beautiful sunny bluebird day to kick off the season here in Nozawa. 50cm of base up top at Yamabiko and fun conditions on the slopes with a bit of powder to delve into on the sides. With the sun out and relatively light winds we certainly can’t complain and awesome to get to ski the last day of November! A few people have come up to get their first tracks for the season. With the sun out it will warm up and no doubt change the conditions a bit in to the afternoon. Good news it gets cold again tomorrow and at this stage another 20cm of fresh […]
Travel Bubble Australia Japan
Travel Bubble Australia Japan Who is getting excited about Winter? The Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort still has the opening date for the 27th of November just 10 days away!

Next Tuesday temps are set to drop and at the moment over 30cm of fresh snow forecast to fall. Just in time for the opening weekend. Could this combined with the new snow making facilities be enough to see the lifts turn in November? Anyway a lot can happen in the stratosphere in a week so will have to wait and see but either […]
Season Opening 2021 Japan
Season Opening 2021 Japan Opening day for Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort! The big announcement has been made and the Resort is planning to roll first lifts on the 27th of November this year. It is always hard to know if they will actually have enough cover to open that day but at least it draws a line in the snow! It is also 2 weeks ahead of last years scheduled opening date. With a few early falls who knows it may be earlier this year but after 30 years of watching it I think to be safe aim for around the second week of December then anything earlier is a bonus. The JMA Weather Bureau in Japan just recently released […]
Travel Australia Japan Ski
Travel Australia Japan Ski Keen to get back on the Slopes? You are not the only one! This shot from Nozawa I am guessing in the 60’s. It was a popular place even back then and there were a lot less slopes to choose from than there are now. So the skiers were more concentrated. When I first started to ski in Nozawa 30 years ago we didn’t even have the Yamabiko area so it was a big thing when the resort opened that up and put in the Nagasaka Gondola. Some promising news for our friends in Australia coming out the last few days too and looks like they could be able to Travel Internationally again by November. Of […]
