Posted at 9:03am on Thursday 6th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There's not much to report this morning.... after a lovely day for the most part yesterday, it's more cloudy this morning. We might just see a spot of rain or sleet today but nothing major. The forecast for the weekend though is promising in terms of snow with decent amounts forecast to fall on the mountains and down to town level as well. There's also a chance of strong winds with the snow.
Of course this weekend sees the planned opening dates for Naeba, Kagura (Tashiro), Iwappara and Joetsu Kokusai. While the first two are ok for an opening, town level resorts aren't ready yet and will need the weekends snowfall to be able to get themselves into a position to open.
