Road in Front of Nozawa Cottage - Blizzard Time
New Snow – 30cm
Base at Yamabiko – 190cm
People often talk about Shonan Magic, Shonan being the famous or more so infamous Surf Spot near Tokyo. I am not sure if it refers to the way the waves there suddenly appear or disappear but when it is on the waves can be perfect.
Nozawa has its own magic and a good dump can totally change the landscape.
We have experienced a bit of Nozawa Magic in the last day and a half with about 80cm of fresh snow falling
It was classic powder yesterday with stories of waist deep coming thick and fast
Even on Grand Prix and most of the lower runs.
It is still snowing heavily outside now so will be an amazing day on the Mountain. Better have a powder suit on if venturing off the groomers, a fashionable one piece is always a good choice
The forecast was for light snow today but yet to be seen and then Sunny tomorrow.
More of the same ahead with a big dump expected again on Sunday Night. Happy Days….
Most runs and lifts are open now they are just holding a few probably until the crowds arrive tomorrow
