Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 48cm
Snowfall at base this seas 450cm
Posted on Wednesday 5th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There was some heavy snow falling at times during the day yesterday and 22cm of snowfall measured by 6pm. That was cleared and there's another 26cm on the same spot this morning, giving us a total for the report of 48cm. And counting as it's still snowing.
Here's what ski areas are reporting:
Maiko Snow Resort: 30-50cm
Ishiuchi Maruyama: 20cm (but that is just from overnight)
Can't find any other specific numbers this morning. It's safe to say Kagura got a whole lot.
Wind is still an issue this morning and Tashiro is again closed. The Prince Number 2 gondola and top area of Naeba are closed too, as is the Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway.
As the day moves along things should be calmer and the snow will ease off. And then tomorrow... sun! Let's hope it stays cold as we want to keep these lovely snow conditions that we have.
Beyond tomorrow more snow is forecast for Friday and then a few days of clearer skies.
