Posted on Wednesday 23rd February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We have had another huge amount of new snowfall again over the last 24 hours. By 6pm yesterday there was 22cm on our measuring point and this morning there is another 42cm on there. Total of 64cm. Kagura is reporting 70cm this morning. Both Maiko and Ishiuchi Maruyama are reporting 50cm. There's tons of snow everywhere you look and some of the snow walls around town now over 4m tall.
Wind doesn't seem to be a problem this morning but visibility is limited, so some extra care is recommended today. There will be some deep snow out there.
Due to the snowfall the South Area closed at GALA Yuzawa and the Tashiro Area at Kagura are closed. Yuzawa Kogen seems to be opening, as are other ski areas... but there may well be some delays and some restrictions (lifts/courses).
Snowfall should get less during the day today and perhaps into tomorrow.
