Posted on Friday 14th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Well, yesterday might not have been as much as we were expecting, but we sure got a lot of snow this morning.
Yesterday evening 32cm of snow was moved off our measuring point. This morning there's another 36cm on there. I make that a total of 68cm, so that's the number in the report for today.
It's one of those mornings when you feel the ski areas are under-reporting snowfall. Don't want to scare people, though that's hard to understand. Anyway here are the numbers out there:
Kagura: 60cm
Ishiuchi Maruyama: 30cm
Maiko Snow Resort: 20cm (since last night?)
It's also quite windy out there and unfortunately a few ski areas are not opening this morning:
GALA Yuzawa is closed for the day.
Only the Mitsumata Area of Kagura is open.
Only the lower area of Yuzawa Kogen is open (the Ropeway is closed).
Only the lower areas of Naeba are open (at the moment).
This storm is set to have eased off by tomorrow. We might even end up with some sun. That will be good for the ski areas.
