Nozawa Onsen snow report Wednesday 24th March 2010
25 Mar
It was an overcast day down here in the village but the top of the mountain was above the clouds for most of the day making for great spring riding. Snow showers moved in in the afternoon reducing visibility, but no one is complaining! It is forecast to keep snowing right through to Friday night with the freezing level getting lower so we should see the snow depth creep up a little or at least stabilize for the time being. Saturday is predicted to be a perfect sunny day then more snow moves in from Saturday night. It won’t be long now before the bottom half of the resort is closed, but there is still plenty of life left in Yamabiko yet. So slap on some sunscreen and get into the springtime fun!
