Posted on Tuesday 25th November 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Hello from a relatively mild Yuzawa.
There hasn't been any fresh snow and with the existing snow getting less in Mitsumata, there's now a bit of walking involved between ski lifts.
Skiing remains available, but is limited to that one 1500m run.
Upper areas may get some fresh snow at times across coming days, but we shouldn't expect anything major or prolonged.
Rain is expected in town tomorrow and there will likely be some light rain at times today.
