Posted on Wednesday 25th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
It was snowing quite heavily at times yesterday, which was interesting... I heard a few people say 'could have done with more of this in January'!
Since yesterday Kagura have reported another 20cm and Maiko Snow Resort have reported 5cm, so for those higher areas that remain open conditions should actually be pretty good now.
There is a lot of cloud around now but some blue sky and probably more as the morning progresses.
It shouldn't warm up too much today; it will be warmer tomorrow with more sun on the forecast.
