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


New snowfall at base 24cm
Snowfall at base this seas 688cm

Posted on Wednesday 19th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


It snowed some more overnight, giving us another total of 24cm of fresh snow measured since yesterday morning. Kagura are reporting 40-50cm, Hakkaisan are reporting 30cm and Ishiuchi are reporting 10cm. Maiko don't seem to have a number for us this morning at time of posting.


There's a mix of cloud and some blue sky above the region this morning though forecasts say that snow clouds should persist with some more possibly heavy snow later on tomorrow. So perhaps this morning is a time to enjoy the lull in the snowfall.


All ski areas should be opening as planned this morning. The Tashiro Area of Kagura remains closed.
