Definitely spring-like conditions in Nozawa at the moment at the lower part of the mountain anyway. Up high this morning was cold enough to create the ice trees we know so well. Not sure if was from a bit of a dusting last night or just a frost this morning, but it looks pretty all the same. Pretty icy on the slopes early though.

Yesterday got up to about 10 degrees in town and was almost walking around in a t-shirt weather. Was a beautiful day up top with the sun out and nice spring like conditions. As long as you weren't expecting powder you would not be disappointed.

The snow around the village has now pulled back a lot and we are seeing things pop up that had been forgotten about for almost three months - found a pair of gumboots I had been looking for all season! After having so much consistent snow this season it feels a bit funny to go for about 1 week now with no fresh snow.

Looks like we should slip back into winter mode at least at higher levels from Friday night with some decent snow
falls still on the forecast. So don't pack away the powder boards just yet!
