Posted on Monday 7th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
That snowfall number yesterday was really huge, and it hasn't really stopped snowing since then (well, as far as we know). By 6pm there was an additional 28cm of snowfall and this morning there's another 26cm on top of that. So another 54cm since yesterday.
That's over 1.5m of snowfall in two reports and it has taken the total snowfall for the season up to 1055cm.
It's still snowing this morning but due to start easing off. By this evening it should have stopped. And then, if the local forecasts are correct, we are going to have a few days of calm and at times clearer skies.
Due to the massive snowfall of the last few days, the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is going to be closed today (too much snow!) - other areas of GALA are open - and there are also a few restrictions at both the Kagura and Tashiro areas of Kagura. It appears that other ski areas are all open, but some lifts might need digging out and be delayed.
Quite a few of the ski areas in the region now have official snow depths of 4 metres and over.
Just love it!
