Independent snow and weather reporting from the Zao region of Yamagata
New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 15cm
Posted on Wednesday 24th November 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It's the last week of November and it is snowing.
Stop Press!
It is chucking it down with at least 10cms last night and a further 5cm already this morning. This is set to continue into the weekend. It seems that a similar situation is being experienced for the rest of us Up North so exciting to see the slopes all white after close on 7 months (or is this just a test run for the snow gods until the season starts in mid-December?!).
In any event, let's hope that this is a good sign of things to come and a great season (and not one peaking early!).
FYI, by all accounts, bookings are coming in rapidly for the New Year break so, if you are intending to come to Zao over that period, best hurry and secure the place you want - albeit, with the foreign traffic still not permitted to enter Japan, there will be plenty of places available.
