Posted on Tuesday 18th November 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
As I write this, it is trying to snow in town areas. Sort of very wet, sleet-like rain/snow, if that makes sense. And then at times it's just 100% wet rain.
However, if forecasts are correct, I might well have some cm of snow to report to you (from town level) tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, there has been snow higher up. Please check out the GALA Yuzawa webcam image below. Expect Kagura to have had more than that.
Kagura is of course aiming to open on 22nd November, but there is no word from them yet on the chance of that happening. While there should be some more snow by tomorrow, sun is forecast for much of the rest of the week.
Enough? I'll keep you informed!
Note to all the bears reading this: hey, it's time to sleep!
