Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this seas 654cm
Posted on Saturday 1st February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Another 17cm of snow to report this morning from our measuring point, with Kagura, Yuzawa Kogen and Maiko Snow Resort ski areas all reporting 20cm.
It's more like 10cm just to the north of Yuzawa in Minamiuonuma.
It is still snowing early morning, though expected to stop sometime soon leaving us with a generally cloudy day. And that is what is forecast for tomorrow too. (Perhaps the chance of some sun?)
After being closed yesterday due to the heavy snowfall, the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa should be open again today... though it might be a bit delayed. (It usually opens from 9:30am).
All ski areas appear to be opening as planned.
Good snowfall is forecast from Tuesday onwards for at least a few days.
