Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this seas 45cm
Posted on Tuesday 10th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Some light snow through the night, though it has not really amounted to much more than dustings around town. There is probably some more new cm at higher elevations.
With more snow due before the weekend and also beyond the weekend, the chances of ski areas being able to open as planned seems very good. What a great thing to be able to say!
There will be a rush of information to tell you starting this weekend. That's when the daily routine steps up another gear or two!
For now, Kagura remains open as it has been.
