Posted on Friday 7th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There might well have been snow falling in central Tokyo yesterday during the day, but it was bright and sunny here at the same time.
Yesterday remained cold and it was very cold overnight, and the snow has started up again this morning. There's 6cm of fresh to report so far down here. Kagura are reporting 20cm, Maiko is reporting 15cm and Ishiuchi is reporting 10cm.
Unfortunately forecast windy conditions mean that Tashiro is again going to be closed for the day, with the Dragondola of course closed at Naeba, and Kagura is open up to the Number 1 Romance lift. The top area of Yuzawa Kogen is also closed this morning, though the lower area remains open.
The tree run area in the top part of Maiko Snow Resort plans to be open from today. (Application required).
We're expecting the snow clouds to be with us through the day and tonight, to be followed by clearer skies tomorrow. It's going to be fine and sunny. (Keep cold please).
