Posted on Sunday 2nd January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
It is a beautiful morning. The sun is out and there is just a bit cloud around.
10cm of snow again by last night and just a dusting overnight. There might be some more snow overnight tonight though and then a day of snow due for Tuesday.
-----
The BC Gate and top Number 5 pair lift at Kagura are not open yet, that opening has been delayed as they deal with all the snow. The connecting course between Kagura and Tashiro and downhill course are also closed today.
The Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is not open yet and we'll let you know when that opens up. The main Central and Northern areas are both open.
-----
With the heavy snow over the last week or so, we are now in the very happy position for ski areas to be pretty much fully open... or as open as they plan to be on each day, weather conditions permitting.
There will be some exceptions to that and we will give mention to any significant news we find in each report. We'll do that up here in the main text. For the time being, the list below will be updated with official snow depths and any fresh snow that ski areas are reporting each morning.
