Posted on Wednesday 7th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Great to see some snow falling during the day yesterday. It was really trying to snow down to town level once again, though we didn't really get much other than a dusting in places, with more on the ground the higher up you go.
Kagura this morning are reporting 10cm of fresh snow on the main Kagura runs and 5cm at the Mitsumata area. The fresh snowfall has allowed them to open up the Panorama course as well as the Family course at Mitsumata once again.
Lots of cloud this morning and a wet feel but the forecast is for clearer conditions later on. It is a chilly morning but it might reach around 6C later on. There's a chance of more snow overnight, especially at higher elevations, and more over the weekend as well.
This coming Saturday the Tashiro area of Kagura, Naeba and Maiko Snow Resort all plan to open...
