First Day of the Season in Nozawa

by Mark on December 13, 2010

Yukari san cruising the Sunset on Uenodaira Nozawa


Lots of happy people coming down from the Mountain yesterday
By all reports was a great first day of the season

Snow quality was surprisingly good and there was a decent coverage on all of the slopes in operation
Light snow was falling throughout the day on top

Still not much on the lower slopes and will need a few good dumps before we see them open, but Yamabiko on top is a winter wonderland. Amazing what a difference 1000m of elevation can make

Overcast weather here this morning and unfortunately some rain forecast however that is set to turn into snow when the temperature drops this evening

Then still showing consistent falls throughout the week so hope for more slopes to open by next weekend.
The Resort Shuttle bus is also due to start operation from Saturday 18th of December

Courses open:

Yamabiko courses A
Yamabiko course C
Yamabiko course D
Yamabiko course E
Uenodaira course

Lifts operating:

Nagasaka Gondola (both sections)
The two Yamabiko quad lifts
Uenodaira quad lift
