Nozawa Onsen March 2007 Drawing some nice Lines
2010 is proving to be an amazing season so think we will be looking good to go the full distance and have a truly golden Golden week. The Resort generally stays open until the end of of the Golden Week Holiday which is May 6th with Mother Natures cooperation on the Snow.
So we still have some great snow to enjoy ahead of us. March I feel is one of the best times in Nozawa. All the snow is here and absolutely no crowds. I am often skiing fresh powder on the top of the Mountain with a few others on March 30th every year
We still have some good availability for March and April and giving good discounts so get in and book as soon as you can and come and enjoy all the magic place has to offer

It was a perfect full-moon last night with clear skies and no wind. This has made way for nice firm packed and freshly groomed runs this morning.
Given the day is going to be relatively warm, the best conditions will be this morning before the snow gets a little soft.
For those eagerly awaiting the next dump, you won’t have to wait too much longer. We have a good fall of snow expected between Tuesday night and Saturday morning. So start waxing your powder skis and boards.

The Road/Ski Slope from Nozawa House to Nozawa Village
The Day before yesterday being January 27th 2010 was really a special day up here in Nozawa. Finally managed to get out and take a few photos. Not a cloud in the sky and some pristine fresh snow. Everything looked picture perfect just wanted to share a few shots

I guess we can’t expect perfect conditions everyday. We’re experiencing 45km/h winds with rain down in town with snow up top today. The Gondolas are on standby with the Challenger and Utopia lifts expected to open shortly.
Outlook is for temps to fall and snow to increase so if have a choice may be a good day to take it easy and look forward to the new snow on the way
Anyone for a relaxing onsen?
Current snow depths:
270cm (top)

Kate, Jay and Matt
It’s a bluebird day here at Nozawa Onsen, with plenty of fresh snow on the ground after yesterday’s dump and a base of almost 300cm. That’s more than enough reasons to get up the mountain. Even those with Australia Day hangovers don’t have an excuse!
