Posted on Tuesday 27th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


The snow did stop yesterday... lingering for a while but not giving us much more than a further dusting.


This morning we have cloud cover but some forecasts tell us to expect some clearer skies and sun this morning. There is already some breaks in the cloud and signs of some blue, though still largely cloudy at 7:15am.


I was woken up again at around 5am, this time it was the noise of wind but hopefully wind won't affect ski area operations this morning.


And there might be some snow to report again tomorrow morning.
