Posted on Monday 7th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
It almost felt like mid winter again yesterday at times. It was cold and we had some impressively heavy snow falling from time to time in the afternoon... but it was rather wet and didn't stick much, not around town anyway though I would expect something on the slopes - and I see that Kagura is reporting 10cm of fresh snow since yesterday. I would imagine there's more than that though the way it was falling even down in town...
After that cold weekend snap, we are going to be back to warming up and getting very spring like now. The next few days should be sun, sun, sun and double digit temperatures. There's a few clouds hanging around this morning but mostly clear and sunny.
So now we are just left with Kagura and GALA Yuzawa open every day, along with Naeba doing weekends and Golden Week and Maiko Snow Resort just doing a last weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
