Posted on Thursday 2nd December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
There was some rain and then a little snow overnight down to town levels in Yuzawa. Not so much just to the north of central Yuzawa in the Minamiuonuma valley. And now it seems to be getting brighter and there is some blue sky appearing. It might be temporary though as the forecast does show the chance of snow through mid-morning.
Kagura ski area are reporting 2-5cm of fresh snow. They are also reporting windy conditions that mean the Kagura quad won't be opening and be replaced by the Kagura Number 1 pair lift.
There is still some further snow on the forecast for around Saturday, but it does not look like it will be that much and there's more sun due on Sunday.
