Posted on Friday 8th April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We did get some rain later on yesterday (quite heavy at times) but that stopped overnight and the roads are drying up this morning. It's generally quite bright but still quite a lot of cloud around... for the moment.
From this morning through mid week next week we are forecast lots of sunshine and warmth with temps due to rise above 20C from Sunday. There's not much wind due either, so it should be a beautiful spring weekend.
There are now just three more days of the season for Naeba and Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort.
From Monday, we'll be down to just Kagura, GALA Yuzawa and Kandatsu.
