Good news from Yuzawa this morning as snow has been falling the second half of yesterday. There hasn't been a huge amount on the ground and resorts around town have been reporting between 5cm and 15cm of new snowfall. With the cold temperature (-4C) and the snow coming down nicely now we can hope for some decent snowfall today. The local Niigata forecast is saying up to 20cm before 4pm today and then the snow is set to continue into tomorrow.
The new layer of snow is very welcome and covering up what had become quite icy conditions on many runs around town. The deeper the better. We may well see clearer conditions over the weekend and so we need as much snow as possible today and tomorrow!
Poor visibility around town and on the resorts.
