Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 7cm
Snowfall at base this season 845cm
Posted on Sunday 25th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
After that clear start to the day, the skies quickly got overcast during the morning yesterday.
It was raining for a while just to the north of Yuzawa, but it was quick to snow in Yuzawa itself - though a rather wet variety as it was fairly mild. (I suspect it wasn't quite as mild as we were told to expect it to be).
Anyway this morning we actually have some fresh cm of snow to report and here is what the resorts are reporting:
Kagura: 15-20cm
Maiko Snow Resort: 15-20cm
Not bad! Quality needs investigating but the snow on my car this morning looked pretty decent actually. I have measured 7cm to add to the totals for here in town.
It is a cloudy start to the day and that is what the forecast is, with the chance of the sun showing up tomorrow.
There's not much in terms of snowfall on the forecast over the coming week especially at lower levels and we'll need to keep an eye on that chance of rain sometime around Wednesday-Thursday. Hopefully forecasts can adjust in our favour.
Have a good Sunday.

Sounds like Hakkai-san had a problem with their Ropeway yesterday but they have fixed that up and it should be operating as normal today.
