Nozawa Onsen 2024

After a 10cm snow fall overnight we hit the slopes early. Mind you it takes about one hour to get dressed, pick up skis and boots and take the gondola to the main ski field. Lovely powder and today I felt that my ski legs had returned (yesterday was a bit disappointing in terms of my technique). After lunch the sun came out and we would have liked to do more runs but we were buggered. After a few runs it was time to head for home on the 10km top to bottom run. We could hardly walk the short distance home after that run. A reviving Onsen meant we had enough energy to walk down the hill for dinner. Will be in bed by 8pm. A lovely day skiing only marred when my stock hit Jayne just above her eye. There was a fair bit of blood but fortunately no stitches required. Understandably, Jayne kept well clear of me for the rest of our skiing day!Read more
