Posted on Friday 2nd December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Another fairly mild overnight and early morning with wet roads due to the rain before dawn. Things seem to be getting brighter though and the weather forecast says that we will see some sunny conditions later in the day as well as a high temperature of around 8C in town.
Up at the open Kagura resort, they are reporting 1-5cm of fresh snowfall overnight and again the main course, Technical and Family courses are open. The Giant and Gondola courses are also scheduled to be open from today as well, but they are not actually mentioning that on their morning mini-report -- so we'll call that unconfirmed for the moment. Tomorrow the Panorama course is also scheduled to be available.
Fine weather is forecast for tomorrow with temperatures in town reaching double digits.
Look to around Tuesday for the next snowfall.
