Posted on Tuesday 8th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There was some light snow falling yesterday, even during the evening, but some brighter spells as well. In the end just a few cm down at town level and this morning Kagura is reporting 10cm.
It's a cloudy start to the day but quite bright in some directions and there is increasingly some blue sky in places. We might get some sun today, even if the forecasts say it should be mostly cloudy, with a higher chance of clearer weather from the start of the day tomorrow.
The break in the heavy snowfall yesterday has allowed locals to get to grips with it all. There has been a lot of shovelling and moving snow going on and probably lots of tired arms and legs this morning! The first photo today is a 3+m 'snow wall' close to SJ HQ just outside Yuzawa.
The Southern Area of GALA is back (part) open this morning and other ski areas generally seem to be opening as planned.
