Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 6cm
Snowfall at base this seas 1183cm
Posted on Monday 3rd March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
So, after all that warmth over the weekend and some spots of rain yesterday (more than spots later at night), this morning we have a nice fresh layer of snow on the ground.
6cm just measured and wiped clear at 7:45am, and it is snowing still. It will probably continue until sometime this afternoon with cloudy skies currently forecast for tomorrow.
Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 5-10cm of fresh.
After being closed for a week already, the quad and upper pair lift at NASPA in the base area will be closed through Friday this week, so there are just the three lifts operating at that ski area.
