I wasn't out myself yesterday but my good friend spent a few hours over at Maiko Snow Resort and they said that it was actually rather busy. Interesting. It was a lovely day. Spring-like, for sure.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 389cm Posted on Sunday 15th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. Some snow falling on the mountains yesterday, thought it was more... wet... down below. This morning both Kagura and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 5cm of fresh snow. Kandatsu have increased their official snow depth by... 20cm. (I don't know the story behind that but with Kagura and Maiko both reporting 5cm, 20cm of fresh snowfall in a location that is basically in between those two resorts and close to town does seem... kind of unlikely). But anyway, you can get an idea of the dustings and layer of snow on the images below. And fresh snowfall is always very welcome. Lots of cloud still now but we might get some sunshine today before the clouds move in again tonight. There is cold and snow on the forecast for tomorrow and it is once again looking quite promising. We can look forward to that. Need to watch out for potentially strong winds though. --- GALA Yuzawa - All lifts are operating - All courses in the Central and Northern Area are open - The Batman and Eliza courses in the Southern Area are open - The Ropeway connecting GALA Yuzawa with Yuzawa Kogen is operating - Official snow depth: 120cm Ishiuchi Maruyama - 8 courses open above the top Sunrise Express gondola lift station, via Chuo base - Access to Chuo from other bases by shuttle bus - Official snow depth: 80cm (upper); 20cm (mid) Iwappara - Iwappara is now closed for the season Joetsu Kokusai - 4 lifts operating; 5 courses open in the North (Panorama) zone - Official snow depth: 60cm (upper) Kagura - All areas of Kagura area are open - Official snow depth: 180cm Kandatsu Snow Resort - All lifts operating; most courses open - Official snow depth: 125cm Maiko Snow Resort - The Gondola and top two Okusoechi lifts are operating - Nagamine and Maiko areas are closed - Official snow depth: 95cm (top) Muikamachi Hakkaisan - 5 courses open; 3 lifts operating - Official snow depth: 140cm Naeba - 12 of 22 courses open - Official snow depth: 80cm - Details on Naeba Now report here NASPA Ski Garden - NASPA Ski Garden is now closed for the season Yuzawa Kogen - The top Kogen area is all open - The base area is now closed - Official snow depth: 100cm (upper) Yuzawa Nakazato - Number 1, 2 and 3 lifts are operating - Official snow depth: 35cm Yuzawa Park - Yuzawa Park is now closed for the season Yuzawa Now 2019-2020 season Data as of Sunday 15th March 2020 Total snowfall at base so far 389cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 35 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 48cm (6th February) November 2019 snowfall 12cm reported on 1 day December 2019 snowfall 27cm reported on 7 days January 2020 snowfall 88cm reported on 10 days February 2020 snowfall 248cm reported on 14 days March 2020 snowfall 14cm reported on 3 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Yuzawa.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. This morning Kagura are reporting 5cm of fresh snow and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 10cm. Just a dusting really down below after some rain in the evening. What about this snow then that has been on the forecasts in varying degrees? It is still there on the forecast for around the middle of the day today. Right now there is quite a lot of blue sky around so I'm not going to try to guess what might happen. I'll let you know. From today the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is closed - other areas remain open - and less of the Naeba resort is available with just the top area of Hakkai-san now open.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. The clouds did move in yesterday morning and it started snowing - and actually quite heavily at times - but in the end we didn't really end up with much around town. On the mountains, Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 5cm and Kagura are reporting... 30cm. Presumably that is up top, as it looks more like 5cm on the cars at base. The sun is out and it is a beautiful morning. It already feels quite mild and we expect the temperature to rise to around 10C in town today. More of the same is due for tomorrow. --- GALA Yuzawa - All lifts apart from Buggy, Wagonette and Landau ropeway are operating - All courses in the Central Area and Northern Area (apart from Roman Holiday B) are open - The Southern Area and downhill course are closed - Official snow depth: 130cm Ishiuchi Maruyama - 8 courses open above the top Sunrise Express gondola lift station, via Chuo base - Access to Chuo from other bases by shuttle bus - Official snow depth: 100cm (upper); 30cm (mid) Iwappara - Iwappara is now closed for the season Joetsu Kokusai - 4 lifts operating; 5 courses open in the North (Panorama) zone - Official snow depth: 60cm (upper) Kagura - All areas of Kagura are open - Official snow depth: 180cm Kandatsu Snow Resort - A, B, D and E lifts operating; most courses open - Official snow depth: 120cm Maiko Snow Resort - The Gondola and top two Okusoechi lifts are operating; take the Gondola up and down - Nagamine and Maiko areas are closed - Official snow depth: 110cm (top) Muikamachi Hakkaisan - Top area open; 3 lifts operating - Official snow depth: 150cm Naeba - 7 of 22 courses open - Official snow depth: 90cm - Details on Naeba Now report here NASPA Ski Garden - NASPA Ski Garden is now closed for the season Yuzawa Kogen - The top Kogen area is all open - The base area is now closed - Official snow depth: 100cm (upper) Yuzawa Nakazato - Number 1 and 2 lifts are operating - Official snow depth: 35cm Yuzawa Park - Yuzawa Park is now closed for the season Yuzawa Now 2019-2020 season Data as of Tuesday 17th March 2020 Total snowfall at base so far 393cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 37 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 48cm (6th February) November 2019 snowfall 12cm reported on 1 day December 2019 snowfall 27cm reported on 7 days January 2020 snowfall 88cm reported on 10 days February 2020 snowfall 248cm reported on 14 days March 2020 snowfall 18cm reported on 5 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Yuzawa.

Everywhere is looking white once again with snow down to town level - I just measured 10cm - and both Kagura and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 20cm of snowfall on the mountain.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. It was snowing quite heavily at times yesterday, which was interesting... I heard a few people say 'could have done with more of this in January'! Since yesterday Kagura have reported another 20cm and Maiko Snow Resort have reported 5cm, so for those higher areas that remain open conditions should actually be pretty good now. There is a lot of cloud around now but some blue sky and probably more as the morning progresses.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. OK, so just to recap. It was 22.8C a few days ago here. Heavy rain last night. And this morning, there's 10-15cm of fresh snowfall on the ground in town and the Kagura resort is reporting 25cm. And Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 35cm of fresh snow. Maiko, of course, brought their closing date forward by a week to today. It's interesting to note that they have not mentioned that today is their last day on their update this morning (...might they rethinking again...?) Hold on. Incoming. Kandatsu Snow Resort have once again changed their planned closing date. No, not to extend it. This time, they are pulling back from 5th April to Tuesday 31st March. I think I've got that right. I'll update you again if they change their mind again tomorrow. ;) Phew. What a season this has been... It's still snowing by the way. Should ease off sometime this morning.
