Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 17cm
Snowfall at base this seas 790cm

Posted on Sunday 30th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


There was snow on and off during yesterday and this morning the snow is still falling, and 17cm has just been measured since yesterday morning in town. The week ahead should be bringing us regular snow with some clearing of the clouds in between. Perhaps the best chance of some heavy dumpage is around Tuesday night.


The Ropeway connecting GALA Yuzawa and Yuzawa Kogen is now open. All ski areas in the area are opening as planned this morning.


The popular ones were quite busy yesterday. Just an observation from a few people - perhaps less groups in buses and families with young children than usual.
