Posted on Saturday 22nd January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa and welcome to the weekend. This morning Kagura is reporting 15cm of snowfall, and that's how much was measured down at town level this morning (with probably all of that arriving by last night).
Important note: some of the 'snowfall numbers' reported from ski areas in the list below are from last night, rather than over 24 hours. And some of them aren't totally clear on that point. It does make it confusing at times and unfortunately can't do anything about that. Just to be clear, our own observed snowfall numbers are always 24 hours/since the last report.
Anyway, we are starting the weekend with cloudy overcast grey clouds. Some forecasts still promise the chance of clearer skies today, so we might get some of that... and there's definitely a good chance of that tomorrow along with slightly milder conditions.
Tashiro is back open today. But the Dragondola is still closed (for the moment, that's about all we know on that score).
It is noticeable that quite a few ski areas are making clear requests this weekend along the lines of: please don't come if you aren't feeling well, check your temperature on arrival, wear a face mask, use hand sanitiser, keep distance, etc. Ski areas do seem to be opening as normal though.
