Posted on Tuesday 19th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa. It has to be an early report today and so some ski area info is not updated yet.
We have some fresh snow on the ground this morning - around 5-10cm in town areas so hopefully a bit more than that higher up. Nice.
[Update: Maiko is reporting 10-20cm of fresh snow]
It is quite bright too so while we have cloud forecast for the day, it feels like it might get to be sunny.
All ski areas will probably be open so it should be a good day.
Later tomorrow into Thursday is still looking very interesting. Everyone is wondering if we will really get the considerable amount of snowfall that forecasts are indicating... there's a suspicion that it won't really happen, but it will be great if it does. Let's have it!
