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


New snowfall at base 28cm
Snowfall at base this season 824cm

Posted on Monday 19th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Snowfall through the day yesterday and it has been snowing lightly this morning this morning, though it seems to have eased off for the moment.


In addition to the 16cm I measured by yesterday evening, there's another 12cm this morning. So a total of 28cm to add to the reports.


Kagura: not announced yet (will update later if available)

Ishiuchi Maruyama: 10cm (since 'last night')

Maiko Snow Resort: 20cm (since 'last night')


We might get more snow during the day today, but like I said for now it has eased off and there are even some signs that things might clear up somewhat with some blue skies appearing in places. Feels like conditions are changing.


If it does clear up, with all the fresh snowfall over the weekend, it should be an excellent day to be out on the slopes. Even if it doesn't get the goggles on for some fresh snow rewards.


Hope some of you can get to enjoy it.
