Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 31cm
Snowfall at base this seas 271cm
Posted on Sunday 14th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Last night we measured an additional 21cm of snowfall and this morning there is another 10cm, so that makes a total of 31cm since yesterday morning. Nice.
This morning Kagura ski area is reporting 40cm of snowfall, presumably since yesterday morning, and Maiko is reporting 10cm of overnight snowfall.
The bottom line: there's a good amount of fresh snow out there, the trees are looking heavy with snow, the sun is out. It should be an excellent Sunday.
And probably very busy too!
In ski area news, the downhill course (Falcon) at GALA Yuzawa is now open. Hopefully the Southern Area of that ski area will also get to open soon.
More snow is still forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday. Two days of consistent snow would be great. Let's have some of that!
