Posted on Monday 16th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We had a bit of brighter skies and even some blue sky early this morning but it's rather grey and cloudy now at around 10am. It might clear up later on.
A sprinkling of snow again in upper areas, though no cm being reported.
Without the sun it's keeping fairly cold, still. Again, that has really helped this March and even with some patches of ground showing in some town level areas, I'm guessing ski areas will be able to remain open until their planned closing dates in March. Whether higher resorts can continue through golden week etc is another matter.
Sun is forecast tomorrow and we do expect temps to start rising during this week.
