Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 6cm
Snowfall at base this seas 1304cm
Posted on Friday 4th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We had some rain yesterday but it turned into snow. Yuzawa Kogen and Ishiuchi are both reporting 10cm of fresh this morning, Maiko is reporting 5-10cm and Kagura are reporting 20cm, so that sounds good.
A cloudy start to the morning but there is some blue sky to the north in the Minamiuonuma valley and the forecast is for clearer skies.
We are still expecting snow on Sunday when it will get back to being quite cold, and maybe later tomorrow too (though that might also start with rain down in town). Will be interesting to see how much snow falls on Sunday.
-----
Well, that was quick! The Kagura Area of Kagura is back open this morning. Good news is good!
With that 20cm of fresh snowfall they are reporting, conditions should be good up there too.
-----
Following on from the news that NASPA Ski Garden and Yuzawa Nakazato have extended their seasons into early April, we will soon add all of the planned closing dates of the ski areas to the reports.
