Spring Skiing with Clear Skies

Last Days of Spring Skiing
Last Days of Spring Skiing Last Days of Spring Skiing Today’s thick fog on the mountain didn’t stop anyone from enjoying the last days of Spring slush! Despite the poor visibility on the slopes and a chill that visited Nozawa this morning the freshly groomed runs made the trip up the mountain worth a while. Yesterday’s condition of the snow was excellent for carving down the Yamabiko slopes similar to what we’re seeing this morning. Conditions however might change quickly turning the snow wet and slushy with temps on the rise from Thursday night. Clear skies predicted from tomorrow morning until the weekend should give us with some stunning views to admire from the top of the mountain. […]
Overcast Days in Nozawa
Overcast Days in Nozawa Overcast Days in Nozawa After a short suspension of the Nagasaka Gondola this morning due to strong winds we are now back and running! There is a thick layer of fog that has settled over the mountain limiting the visibility up at Yamabiko for riding. Yesterday we had a cool overcast day, with lots of fun being enjoyed by all! These slushy conditions are persisting throughout our April, extending the winter fun. Expect similar overcast conditions today, with less visibility up top. Our forecast is predicting the potential for clearer skies later on in the afternoon. As always, stay safe and enjoy! Overcast Days in Nozawa ⛅️TODAY: Temperature at […]
Finally T-Shirt weather in Nozawa
Finally T-Shirt weather in Nozawa Finally T-Shirt weather in Nozawa Yesterday was the first day since about October that I was comfortable to wear a T-Shirt in town. Have seen a few other crazy people bearing their arms earlier in the season but yesterday was a beautiful sunny day. Great day to clean the snow off the solar panels and get them to work. On the hill was also awesome especially early the snow up top was beautiful with views to match. Naturally it got slushy later but a fun day was had by all. Today should be more of the same. Fairly busy weekend with the Top to Bottom race happening tomorrow. It is probably the last […]
Half a meter March Nozawa
Half a meter March Nozawa Half a meter March Nozawa Half a meter of snow for mid March in Nozawa! Report just in from the resort and they are reporting 45cm of fresh snow for the top at Yamabiko. We didn’t get anywhere near that in town but up top with the colder temps looks like was going hard all night. The base has also jumped to a new peak for the season at 280cm! Not bad for spring skiing. It is heavy in the village but at -5 degrees up top it is sure to be good up there so get high as soon as can. Have not heard on the gondola opening yet but think will […]
Cheap Long Stay Japan
Cheap Long Stay Japan Amazing Autumn in all it’s glory in Nozawa Yesterday marked the last day of the Nagasaka Gondola Operation for the Green Season and didn’t Mother Nature put on a show. Amazing how fast the bright greens of Summer morphed into the rich reds, orange and yellows of Autumn. Truly spectacular to view the canopy from above as you ride up in the gondola. The glass bottom floors giving that extra Birds Eye view. Awesome time of year to be in Nozawa with great weather and not too many people about. We are doing some awesome long term deals too at this time of year. You could rent a two bedroom apartment for as little as 120,000 […]
