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


New snowfall at base 14cm
Snowfall at base this seas 398cm

Posted on Monday 3rd January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Beautiful morning (in particular) yesterday, with clouds gradually starting to gather as the day went on.


There were some spots of rain in places in the evening in some areas but thankfully we can quickly forget that as it quickly changed into snow and this morning Kagura are reporting 40cm of fresh. Other ski areas are reporting 10cm (Ishiuchi), 20cm (Yuzawa Kogen) and 30cm (Maiko) - our measurement for this report is 14cm of new snowfall since yesterday.


For the day today we are expecting light snow at times - it's still snowing now - but just cloudy at others.


Tomorrow we should be getting heavy snow once again and that might bring with it some strong winds.
