Posted on Tuesday 27th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There's pleasing news to report this morning with a very welcome fresh layer of snow everywhere.
Our town measurement is 15cm, all of which came overnight.
Maiko Snow resort is reporting 20-30cm which sounds really good.
Right now it is cloudy, quite windy, with light snow falling. A bit to the north there is some breaks in the cloud and blue sky, but snow is forecast through the day today.
Kagura is closed this morning due to wind/weather. There is some disruption at Naeba too, and Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway is not opening. Other ski areas appear to be opening as planned.
It's curious how, as we approach March, some forecasts are looking more winter-y than they have looked for large parts of winter. If that means we get more fresh snow over the coming week, we're all for it!
