Posted on Tuesday 10th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
First up, Kagura and Yuzawa Kogen are closed today. Naeba is also affected by wind conditions. Lifts at GALA Yuzawa and Ishiuchi Maruyama are open but they may be moving at reduced speeds and there may be other lifts affected by wind during the day today.
We have fresh snowfall. It started with rain again last night but this morning there is 17cm of fresh snow at our measuring point in Yuzawa and 12cm in Ishiuchi. Kagura aren't reporting a number this morning, but Maiko are saying that they have 30cm, presumably up top. Hopefully we will get more during the day today.
From tomorrow we are due clearer weather and things gradually warming up to some unseasonably warm temps on Saturday (and quite possibly rain). It might even get up to +10C. Thankfully, it should quickly get colder again Sunday onwards.
For now, though, some fun fresh conditions to enjoy this morning and tomorrow should be a good day too.
