Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 15cm
Posted on Sunday 8th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Very light snowfall for most of the day yesterday in town, though it didn't amount to much at all - but this morning a bit more on the ground... perhaps up to 10cm or so.
The bigger news is that Kagura is reporting 20cm, and also that Tashiro is able to open this morning which is good to hear. The Tashiro Number 1 Romance, Tashiro Number 2 Romance, Tashiro Number 4 Romance and Tashiro Number 1 quad lifts are operating as well as the Ropeway. The connection between Tashiro and the main Kagura area is however not yet open.
The Mitsumata area also now has the lifts moving, so there's no need for that pesky shuttle bus now either. The Mitsumata Number 1 quad and the Number 3 pair lifts are operating.
Good to see more opening of course.
Snow is expected to ease off this morning and then fine and clear, sunny weather tomorrow.

Kagura (via Mitaumata)
