Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 922cm

Posted on Wednesday 13th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Yuzawa.


It's still snowing. Not huge numbers - 8cm by last night and an additional 7cm this morning, and so I am adding 15cm to the report this morning.


For the record, Kagura are reporting 5cm and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 5-10cm.


Light snow seems to be what all the forecasts are telling us to expect for the day today, easing off by tonight; and then some more light snow early tomorrow and maybe we will see some sunshine on Friday.


All ski areas in the area should be open as normal this morning.
