Posted on Friday 5th April 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Visibility is limited again this morning as you can see on the photos below from around 8am.
We were expecting clearer weather today but it's just not really happening yet. Perhaps things will be clearer as the morning progresses.
Temperatures are set to rise over the weekend. It will likely warm up to between 15-20C in town. Would be nice if we got some clearer skies too for the weekend.
Six ski areas in the region remain open until Sunday. From Monday, we'll be down to just GALA Yuzawa, Kagura and Kandatsu.
