Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this seas 402cm
Posted on Tuesday 4th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Sure I heard some rain very early morning, but looking out the window now it is actually snowing. And while we were expecting up to 20cm of snow, just a little on the ground. (Kagura is actually reporting 20cm).
Just to the north of Yuzawa out in the Minamiuonuma valley it is actually still raining, though seems to be changing into sleet and hopefully should be snow very soon.
So it's a curious early morning, but we should be getting snow through the day today and into tomorrow and temps are set to drop.
It is also forecast to be windy and due to that GALA Yuzawa is going to be closed for the day. The Tashiro Area of Kagura is also closed, as is the main Kagura quad but you can get up there via Mitsumata.
Other lifts may well be affected, particularly higher or more exposed ones.
