Nozawa Onsen | Fireworks, Powder and Sake for New Year's

A bit late to 2026 but here we are... enjoy! Slow start of snowfall to the season meant the new year's eve night ski to midnight was cancelled, but had a great time either way. Great food, views and people. 0:00 Intro 1:27 Snowboarding 3:22 Uenotaira Lodge 3:35 Afternoon ski 4:43 Village walk 5:10 Sumo-nabe 5:35 Night walk 5:51 Beautiful morning 6:33 Crowded slopes 9:19 Tarogoya 9:28 Snow is coming! 15:05 Village walk 15:42 Aokiya 16:04 New Year's Eve Countdown 22:26 Riding in pow 24:22 Rest House Yamabiko 24:38 On the slopes 29:01 Leaving Nozawa
