New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this seas 536cm
Posted on Wednesday 28th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday there was a lot of cloud around for the most part, snowing lightly at times, quite windy, and even a bit of blue sky and sun at times in the afternoon.
I'm reporting 2cm this morning (since the last report yesterday morning), but there is no cm of fresh snow to be seen on our measuring point at 8am this morning.
Kagura is actually reporting 20cm of fresh snow but unfortunately wind is still an issue up there and it is only open up to the Number 1 pair lift at the start of the day. Very good to hear about the snow, though! And Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 5-10cm of snowfall since yesterday.
So it does sound like higher runs have enjoyed another layer of snow.
The lower runs at the Main Entrance section of Ishiuchi Maruyama are going to be closed today and tomorrow as they move snow around and cover some patches.
