Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 4cm Snowfall at base this seas 583cm Posted on Tuesday 5th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. It's a cloudy start to the day and that is pretty much what is expected for the day. There is still quite a bit of low cloud/fog around in places and currently just under +1C in town. Kagura reports 10cm of fresh snow since yesterday and Maiko reports 5cm. While it has almost gone now, we measured another 4cm during yesterday. Tonight and into tomorrow we're due more precipitation. That might well start as rain in town (again), but hopefully it will be straight to snow in higher elevations. Difficult to know how much to expect out of it. Looks like the weekend will see more snowfall too. ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 180cm The Northern Area connection with Ishiuchi Maruyama is available The Southern Area connection with Yuzawa Kogen is available The downhill Falcon course is closed Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 Ishiuchi Maruyama Official snow depth: 150cm (mid) The connection with the Northern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Night skiing until 8:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Iwappara Official snow depth: 85cm Night skiing until 7:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Joetsu Kokusai Official snow depth: 160cm (top) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Kagura Official snow depth: 180cm (top), 130cm (base) Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 (Tashiro Area) Planned closing date: Sunday 19th May 2024 (Kagura Area via Mitsumata) Kandatsu Snow Resort Official snow depth: 140cm Planned closing date: Sunday 21st April 2024 Maiko Snow Resort Official snow depth: 175cm (top), 40cm (lower) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Muikamachi Hakkaisan Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 60cm (base) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Naeba Official snow depth: 120cm (top), 60cm (base) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 See our Naeba Now report NASPA Ski Garden Official snow depth: 120cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Kogen Official snow depth: 130cm (top), 40cm (base) The connection with the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort Official snow depth: 95cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Park Official snow depth: 90cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Now 2023-2024 season Data as of Tuesday 5th March 2024 Total snowfall at base so far 583cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 42 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 55cm (23rd December) November 2023 snowfall 14cm reported on 2 days December 2023 snowfall 137cm reported on 9 days January 2024 snowfall 306cm reported on 15 days February 2024 snowfall 79cm reported on 12 days March 2024 snowfall 47cm reported on 4 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this seas 584cm Posted on Wednesday 6th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. There was lots of cloud and fog in places through the day yesterday, with some rain/sleet/snow later on. Just a dusting in places really overnight (already gone on the roads), though Maiko is reporting 1-5cm of fresh snow on the slopes. (No snowfall numbers to report from Kagura, or other ski areas, as of 8am). Another grey start to the day with sleet/snow at times on forecasts and then maybe some sunshine during the day tomorrow. Later on Friday and Saturday is looking very interesting. The chance of heavy snow? We'll have some of that, please! ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 200cm The Northern Area connection with Ishiuchi Maruyama is available The Southern Area connection with Yuzawa Kogen is available The downhill Falcon course is closed Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 Ishiuchi Maruyama Official snow depth: 150cm (mid) The connection with the Northern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Night skiing until 8:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Iwappara Official snow depth: 80cm Night skiing until 7:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Joetsu Kokusai Official snow depth: 160cm (top) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Kagura Official snow depth: 180cm (top), 130cm (base) Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 (Tashiro Area) Planned closing date: Sunday 19th May 2024 (Kagura Area via Mitsumata) Kandatsu Snow Resort Official snow depth: 140cm Planned closing date: Sunday 21st April 2024 Maiko Snow Resort Official snow depth: 170cm (top), 40cm (lower) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Muikamachi Hakkaisan Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 60cm (base) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Naeba Official snow depth: 120cm (top), 60cm (base) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 See our Naeba Now report NASPA Ski Garden Official snow depth: 115cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Kogen Official snow depth: 130cm (top), 40cm (base) The connection with the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort Official snow depth: 95cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Park Official snow depth: 90cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Now 2023-2024 season Data as of Wednesday 6th March 2024 Total snowfall at base so far 584cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 43 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 55cm (23rd December) November 2023 snowfall 14cm reported on 2 days December 2023 snowfall 137cm reported on 9 days January 2024 snowfall 306cm reported on 15 days February 2024 snowfall 79cm reported on 12 days March 2024 snowfall 48cm 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.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. It was snowing nicely up at Kagura at times yesterday. Unfortunately, they're not saying how much they got, so the only number I can report is the 1-3cm from Maiko. Not much more than dusting(s) around town since yesterday morning. This morning there is a lot of cloud around and foggy conditions too, though forecasts indicate that we might be treated to some clearer skies and sun later this morning. In fact, there is already some blue sky to see just north of Yuzawa. We are still due snow around Saturday and potentially a decent amount of it too. ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 180cm The Northern Area connection with Ishiuchi Maruyama is available The Southern Area connection with Yuzawa Kogen is available The downhill Falcon course is closed Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 Ishiuchi Maruyama Official snow depth: 150cm (mid) The connection with the Northern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Night skiing until 8:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Iwappara Official snow depth: 80cm Night skiing until 7:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Joetsu Kokusai Official snow depth: 160cm (top) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Kagura Official snow depth: 180cm (top), 130cm (base) Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 (Tashiro Area) Planned closing date: Sunday 19th May 2024 (Kagura Area via Mitsumata) Kandatsu Snow Resort Official snow depth: 145cm Planned closing date: Sunday 21st April 2024 Maiko Snow Resort Official snow depth: 170cm (top), 40cm (lower) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Muikamachi Hakkaisan Official snow depth: 180cm (top), 80cm (base) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Naeba Official snow depth: 120cm (top), 60cm (base) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 See our Naeba Now report NASPA Ski Garden Official snow depth: 110cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Kogen Official snow depth: 130cm (top), 40cm (base) The connection with the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort Official snow depth: 95cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Park Official snow depth: 90cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Now 2023-2024 season Data as of Thursday 7th March 2024 Total snowfall at base so far 585cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 44 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 55cm (23rd December) November 2023 snowfall 14cm reported on 2 days December 2023 snowfall 137cm reported on 9 days January 2024 snowfall 306cm reported on 15 days February 2024 snowfall 79cm reported on 12 days March 2024 snowfall 49cm reported on 6 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.

And it is still snowing with more due through tomorrow... and maybe quite a bit too. (Worth adding that just north of Yuzawa there are currently some breaks in the cloud, but might be temporary).

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. The exciting flashback to mid-winter conditions continues. At our measuring point, since the report yesterday morning (including a clearing yesterday evening), there has been a total of 32cm. That is one of the biggest falls in a day of the season... and it is still snowing. Here's how much new snowfall the ski areas are reporting this morning: Maiko Snow Resort: 25cm (since last night) Yuzawa Kogen: 20-30cm (I would be great to know how much there is up at Kagura...) OK so, yes, it is still snowing at 8:30am, though it will probably ease off sometime during the day. (Forecasts vary on the timing). Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny in the morning and so it should be an excellent Monday morning! Some ski area news: The Falcon downhill course at GALA Yuzawa is back open.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this seas 640cm Posted on Monday 11th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. It has to be an early report this morning and so too early for some of the snow depth numbers below to be updated. How great was it to get that blast of winter the previous few days?! :) We had light snow on continuing for much of yesterday during the day, though it didn't really amount to much down in town... there might have been several cm or more at higher elevations. This morning we start with cold temps, beautiful clear skies, and a wind that you can hear. As of 7am, there don't seem to be any notices of ski areas not opening due to wind, so hopefully they all will be open as planned... (In fact, Kagura seems to be saying there is 'no wind'. Curious!) It should be a great morning to enjoy the snow. Cloud is expected later on today with things warming up to a high temp of around +7C in town. Tomorrow we might get some rain but there might be more snow for us as we get into Wednesday. ** Update at 9am: wind doesn't seem to be an issue at all! ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 210cm The Northern Area connection with Ishiuchi Maruyama is available The Southern Area connection with Yuzawa Kogen is available The downhill Falcon course has re-opened Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 Ishiuchi Maruyama Official snow depth: 160cm (mid) The connection with the Northern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Iwappara Official snow depth: 105cm Night skiing until 7:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Joetsu Kokusai Official snow depth: 200cm (top) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Kagura Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 150cm (base) Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 (Tashiro Area) Planned closing date: Sunday 19th May 2024 (Kagura Area via Mitsumata) Kandatsu Snow Resort Official snow depth: 170cm Planned closing date: Sunday 21st April 2024 Maiko Snow Resort Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 65cm (lower) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Muikamachi Hakkaisan Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 75cm (base) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Naeba Official snow depth: 150cm (top), 70cm (base) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 See our Naeba Now report NASPA Ski Garden Official snow depth: 150cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Kogen Official snow depth: 150cm (top), 50cm (base) The connection with the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort Official snow depth: 110cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Park Official snow depth: 110cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Now 2023-2024 season Data as of Monday 11th March 2024 Total snowfall at base so far 640cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 47 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 55cm (23rd December) November 2023 snowfall 14cm reported on 2 days December 2023 snowfall 137cm reported on 9 days January 2024 snowfall 306cm reported on 15 days February 2024 snowfall 79cm reported on 12 days March 2024 snowfall 104cm reported on 9 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this seas 649cm Posted on Wednesday 13th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Cloud to rain to snow yesterday, and it was actually snowing quite heavily at some points last night. The result is about 10cm around town this morning, a bit wet. There is probably more than that higher up and, indeed, Maiko Snow Resort is this morning reporting 10-20cm of snow. (If only more ski areas told us about these things. Sorry, broken record!) Strong winds are forecast today and because of that the Tashiro Area of Kagura is definitely closed for the day, and it looks like the Kagura Area might also be closed. The Mitsumata Area is planning on opening. Yuzawa Kogen Ropeway is also closed for the day but the lower area of Yuzawa Kogen ski area is open. All other ski areas appear to be opening as planned (though if it does get windy there may be some disruptions). Sun and milder conditions are expected tomorrow and Friday, and maybe over the weekend too. Beyond that, there is more snow on the forecasts for next week, so it seems we're not done with the fresh snow yet! ---------------------------- I believe quite a few of the official snow depth numbers at the moment are the highest they have been all season (though worth noting they are still noticeably lower than usual highs). That's got to be pretty unique for March. (We can all check the data on the Snow data pages within the listings for each ski area. For example, here's the one for GALA Yuzawa).

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this seas 651cm Posted on Thursday 14th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. A few cm of snow since the morning report yesterday as snow continued on and off. And there might be some more freshly groomed snow out there to enjoy this morning. This morning there's some cloud around, particularly north of Yuzawa, but lots of blue sky and it feels like it is going to be a good morning. More sun is forecast for tomorrow... and Saturday, possibly Sunday, too. It is going to be getting warmer too over the next several days, with temps perhaps approaching/reaching double digits at times (most likely tomorrow - a high of around 7C is forecast for today). There is more snow shown on weekly forecasts for next week, so we might be getting some more fresh. The report has to be a bit too early for some ski areas updates this morning, but all will probably be open as scheduled. ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 250cm The Northern Area connection with Ishiuchi Maruyama is available The Southern Area connection with Yuzawa Kogen is available The downhill Falcon course has re-opened Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 Ishiuchi Maruyama Official snow depth: 170cm (mid) The connection with the Northern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Iwappara Official snow depth: 105cm Night skiing until 7:00pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Joetsu Kokusai Official snow depth: 200cm (top) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Kagura Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 150cm (base) Planned closing date: Monday 6th May 2024 (Tashiro Area) Planned closing date: Sunday 19th May 2024 (Kagura Area via Mitsumata) Kandatsu Snow Resort Official snow depth: 180cm Planned closing date: Sunday 21st April 2024 Maiko Snow Resort Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 40cm (lower) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Muikamachi Hakkaisan Official snow depth: 200cm (top), 100cm (base) Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Naeba Official snow depth: 150cm (top), 70cm (base) Night skiing until 8:30pm Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 See our Naeba Now report NASPA Ski Garden Official snow depth: 130cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Kogen Official snow depth: 150cm (top), 50cm (base) The connection with the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is available Planned closing date: Sunday 7th April 2024 Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort Official snow depth: 120cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Park Official snow depth: 110cm Planned closing date: Sunday 31st March 2024 Yuzawa Now 2023-2024 season Data as of Thursday 14th March 2024 Total snowfall at base so far 651cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 49 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 55cm (23rd December) November 2023 snowfall 14cm reported on 2 days December 2023 snowfall 137cm reported on 9 days January 2024 snowfall 306cm reported on 15 days February 2024 snowfall 79cm reported on 12 days March 2024 snowfall 115cm reported on 11 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this seas 660cm Posted on Tuesday 19th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Good morning from Yuzawa. It has to be an early report today and so some ski area info is not updated yet. We have some fresh snow on the ground this morning - around 5-10cm in town areas so hopefully a bit more than that higher up. Nice. [Update: Maiko is reporting 10-20cm of fresh snow] It is quite bright too so while we have cloud forecast for the day, it feels like it might get to be sunny. All ski areas will probably be open so it should be a good day. Later tomorrow into Thursday is still looking very interesting. Everyone is wondering if we will really get the considerable amount of snowfall that forecasts are indicating... there's a suspicion that it won't really happen, but it will be great if it does. Let's have it! ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 200cm The connections with Ishiuchi Maruyama and Yuzawa Kogen are open. The downhill Falcon course is closed.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this seas 662cm Posted on Wednesday 20th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. OK, so it was raining, but it has turned to snow and we already have up to 2cm in places as of 7:30am. Forecasts still tell us to expect some heavy snow at times over the next 24-36 hours and some (normal!) mid-winter-like amounts of fresh snow. Particularly later this afternoon and overnight tonight. Ski areas would probably have preferred to have got this snow in February (and not on a national holiday like today), but here we are! More snow is always welcome... With heavy snow expected this afternoon, the top lift at Kagura is closed and they plan to cut off the Kagura<>Tashiro connecting course at 2pm. Otherwise, ski areas appear to be opening as normal this morning. ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 200cm The connections with Ishiuchi Maruyama and Yuzawa Kogen are open.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 30cm Snowfall at base this seas 692cm Posted on Thursday 21st March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. Perhaps in the general tradition of the 23-24 season, what actually happened yesterday and overnight wasn't quite what the forecasts told us to expect. Fairly soon after the report yesterday morning, the snow eased off and we even got some bright spells during the day, though it remained mostly cloudy. So there wasn't much snow to talk about down at town level yesterday. We did get an impressive amount overnight though. Here's what is being reported: Kagura: 40cm Maiko Snow Resort: 35cm Japan Meteorological Agency measuring point: 26cm Our Yuzawa measuring point: 30cm Our Minamiuonuma measuring point (north of Ishiuchi Maruyama): 21cm That's amazing for late March. Check out the Snowfall analysis page of this report here. On that page you'll see that last year we were only able to report 11cm of snowfall in the whole of March. And most years, we have reported less than 50cm in March. This March, we have now reported 156cm of snowfall at town level. And all that after the very poor showing (in terms of snowfall) in February. It has definitely been a very odd-feeling season. But anyway, we have fresh snow and conditions should be really good this morning! Who's have thought?! Snow has been forecast through the day today too, but it is only snowing lightly right now and there is even a bit of sunshine breaking through the clouds and some blue sky just north of Yuzawa. Ski area news: The Tashiro Area of Kagura and the top lift at the ski area is closed again today due to wind. ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 200cm The connections with Ishiuchi Maruyama and Yuzawa Kogen are open.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 19cm Snowfall at base this seas 711cm Posted on Friday 22nd March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here. We had snow on and off during the day yesterday and after more fairly heavy snow overnight, I just measured another 19cm. (Maiko Snow Resort was reporting 15cm earlier on). And it's still snowing! There's even some decent mini snow walls appearing by the side of roads. Beyond this morning there isn't much snow on the forecast for the week ahead and it is expected to be milder, so there is a fair chance that this might be our last fresh delivery of the season. But what a late season it has been. (The forecast for tomorrow currently seems to be a mix of light snow/sleet/rain clearing up to give us some sunshine later on). ---------------------------- GALA Yuzawa Official snow depth: 230cm The connections with Ishiuchi Maruyama and Yuzawa Kogen are open.
