Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 36cm
Snowfall at base this seas 410cm
Posted on Thursday 25th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
By 6pm yesterday there was an additional 14cm of snowfall at our Yuzawa measuring point and this morning there's another 22cm. So a total of 36cm since the last report.
It is still snowing and we expect it to continue through tomorrow, though it might be lighter by the time we get to tomorrow. Hopefully we can get another decent amount over the next 24 hours. Nice.
Currently just under -2C.
It is also quite windy again with only the Mitsumata Area of Kagura is opening as planned early morning and the Tashiro Area will be closed for the day. The top area of Naeba is also not opening but other ski areas all seem to be opening as planned at the start of the day.
Someone asked (again) why there is only a 'new snowfall' number for Maiko Snow Resort (on most days) in the list below. The answer is very simple: that is often the only number there is to report. If other ski areas reported new snowfall, we would include it below. But they don't... so we can't!
For some reason that we find difficult to understand, ski areas don't seem to think that reporting new snowfall is important. But it is what it is, and it doesn't seem likely to change.
And on that note, Yuzawa Kogen is reporting 'about 40cm' this morning... and it has been added to the list below.
