Morning from Nozawa.

A really very fine day of weather yesterday and we are probably going to enjoy similarly fine weather over the next few days too.

Really nice weather to be out and about and as we enter the main part of Golden Week today there will probably be a lot of people out to enjoy it.

Nozawa Onsen will be open until Sunday 7th May.

5 days to go!

Lower slopes are now almost completely bare but upper slopes still have an official snow depth of just under and excellent snow cover.

Riders need to get the Gondola back down from the upper slopes at the end of the day.
