Sun for starters powder incoming!
The skies cleared beautifully with the sunrise this morning, revealing a stunning winter wonderland in Nozawa Onsen! 🌞 After yesterday’s strong winds, conditions have eased, bringing improved visibility and smoother lift operations across the mountain. And the best part? A fresh 30cm of powder has been layered up since 3 PM yesterday, making for incredible skiing and boarding today!
The snow base continues to build, with more snowfall expected throughout the day—so get ready for another epic session. With all the excitement, we’ve had a huge wave of people inquiring about next season’s bookings. Many properties aren’t open for reservations yet. For those trying to get quotes for Nozawa Holidays properties please be patient as we are very busy here now with peak season so it will take a while to get back to you. Best to wait and contact us around mid March for next season bookings. Arigatou Gozaimasu 🙏
Thank you for your patience, and enjoy the powder!
