Nozawa Onsen Powder Weekend

Nozawa Onsen Powder Weekend

Huge ski resort with some of the best pow around. Free hot springs all around town. Great snow, great resort, party event, good people - good times!

Overview

Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort is truly a snow paradise - a huge resort, with a great variety of courses offering something for everyone. From long, wide open runs that are great for beginners and intermediates to steep powder runs that will leave the more experienced skiiers/boarders grinning ear to ear. The super long runs of Nozawa Onsen also mean that you spend alot more time cruising down the slopes than sitting on the lifts. The back & side country tree runs at Nozawa Onsen are second to none. There are natural halfpipes, gullies and tons of well spaced powder tree runs to explore.

The traditional town of Nozawa Onsen is scattered with authentic Japanese buildings and free onsen houses throughout. There is a fantastic atomosphere in the village with many restaurants, bars and night spots. 

We are staying in a stylish lodge located only 2min walk from the lifts (you can ski back to the door). The lodge is very close to one of the larger free onsens, and also has its own onsen on site.
