Posted on Tuesday 31st January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Well yesterday we got a wide range of weather conditions yesterday.
First of all we had those stunning clear blue skies. It had clouded over by late morning and soon after it started snowing. And we did actually get 4-5cm by late afternoon. Such contrasts!
This morning there is an additional 18cm of snow from to add giving us a total of 21cm since yesterday.
Kagura are reporting 30cm of fresh snowfall (along with some quite windy conditions) and Maiko are reporting 40cm. It seems like we can expect 20-40cm of new snow on the mountains in ungroomed areas.
It is still snowing and will probably ease off as the day goes on. We might even get some clearer skies again later.
Tomorrow is currently due to start off clearer, moving to snow by night time.
