It is another sunny day on the slopes here in Nozawa in a similar mould to yesterday with very light winds and nice conditions on the slopes.

As usual after a few days without any fresh snow the powder hounds are getting a bit of an itch, but there are still some nice spots if you search around. On piste was a bit hard early but has softened up now for a beautiful day.

The expected snowfall just keeps creeping forward and looks like may start with a little tonight then the snow man mark is appearing pretty consistently in the near future. Not a major dump, but hopefully some nice little regular top ups.

The University contests are on in town at the moment and they are taking to the ski jump too just above Arena. Pretty spectacular to watch as they get some serious air!
