Nozawa Onsen Skiing

Compared to Hakuba valley, Nozawa Onsen is a single mountain with the village at the bottom.
The mountain is moderately sized but it has lots of opened up tree runs and natural valleys and chutes to power through so terrain options are really quite good.

Skiing wise I was quite lucky I arrived just after a huge dump of powder so got to experience some of that infamous japanese magical powder again, but temperatures quickly shot up so it was classic spring skiing in slushy snow.  Still soft just slushy.  Spring came on quite fast this year it appears but some beautiful spring clear sunny days and great fun.
