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


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 856cm

Posted on Friday 23rd March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


We have light wet snow falling at some higher elevations and rain down in town this morning. Hopefully by this afternoon it will be drier and from tomorrow we have lots of sunshine and clearer skies on the forecast right into at least the middle of next week and some warm conditions too (especially from Monday onwards).


So it should be fine weather over the weekend. Full on spring snow conditions of course but come with that in mind and there's still a lot of fun to be had. As you might expect, better conditions the higher up you go.
