Posted on Saturday 13th December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
It has to be a quick report today with so much happening - a more in-depth report will be posted tomorrow.
New snowfall since yesterday morning: 16cm.
There is still quite a lot of cloud around, but some blue sky and the forecast is for clearer skies during the day today.
Naeba, Kandatsu Snow Resort and Joetsu Kokusai ski areas are all part open from this morning.
And after being closed yesterday due to strong wind, Kagura is back open this morning.
Yuzawa Kogen and GALA Yuzawa ski areas are both open, but only for sightseeing... not skiing and snowboarding. Like I said yesterday, don't turn up with your ski gear!
