Posted at 9:38am on Saturday 29th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Just a sprinkling of new snow in town this morning with higher elevations reporting up to 10cm or so. The day started off cloudy and while there are still lots of cloud up there, there's more blue sky opening up and the sun casting shadows in places. The forecast has the sun doing it's job today and conditions clearing up with a high of around +5C later on.
Tomorrow is going to be milder still and that chance of rain in the afternoon, hopefully quickly turning into snow later. From Monday it's cloud/snow every day late into the week so we can hope for some decent topups each day.
The resorts around town were busier yesterday but it wasn't too bad. As more people arrive this weekend to enjoy their last ski of the year and people staying for New Year, it's going to get busier at the popular resorts.
If you are interested in the chance of winning a few lift tickets that are valid at any ski resort in Yuzawa town, may I point you in the direction of this weeks Giveaway on SnowJapan for this season. Yuzawa Town have very kindly provided us with 20 one-day lift tickets, valid until the end of March 2013, to distribute to SnowJapan members. The tickets are valid at any of the ski resorts in Yuzawa town. More details on how you can win two of these can be found here and hopefully it's a good opportunity to get involved in our Forums. This Giveaway will be running until Thursday next week, and after that each week we have lift tickets for other ski resorts around Japan to give to SnowJapan members. Good luck!
