Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 19cm
Snowfall at base this season 290cm
Posted on Saturday 30th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
More snow to report as we approach the end of 2017. Here is what the 'resorts that report' have reported this morning:
Kagura: 40cm
Kagura Mitsumata: 25cm
Kagura Tashiro: 40cm
Naeba: 30cm
Maiko Snow Resort: 20cm
And I am measuring 19cm myself. Nice.
It has shaped up to be a really good end to the year, with an equally very good start to 2018 on the cards if the forecasts are correct. A pretty big contrast to how things were last season; in a good way!
It's very cloudy and rather dark this morning with fog in places. Light snow perhaps during the day today and it looks like there is a very good chance of sunshine during the day tomorrow. It should be warming up a little tomorrow as well. Not to worry though as a return to colder temperatures and further decent snowfall is on the forecast from later on in the day on Monday.
Early in January we'll take a look back at the season so far and also compare with the last few seasons.
The top lift at Kagura will be opening for the season from tomorrow.
