Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 30cm Snowfall at base this season 403cm Posted on Thursday 23rd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . It was snowing for most of yesterday and it is snowing this morning in Yuzawa. Kagura is reporting up to 30cm of fresh and I can personally vouch for close to that amount that I had to move off the car since yesterday morning. The snow is due to stop around lunchtime today though leaving us with just cloud. Perhaps even some sun. Tomorrow is when it starts to warm up. The forecast is for a clear, sunny day from early on and a high temperature of +5C in the afternoon. Saturday should continue being mild and there's a chance of rain but if we're lucky that will turn into snow before long. We're hoping that the milder conditions will only last a few days and we can get back to cold early in the week. Today though snow conditions should be great, and then tomorrow remember the camera. --- Official resort snow depths @ Thursday 23rd January 2014, AM: Naeba: 180cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 275cm Gala Yuzawa: 320cm Iwappara: 215cm Yuzawa Kogen: 270cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 160cm Yuzawa Park: 190cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 285cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 290cm Joetsu Kokusai: 220cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Thursday 23rd January 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 403cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 32 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 267cm reported on 17 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 . Yesterday was a cloudy/overcast day but we are back to snow falling this morning. About 5cm on my car outside and that is the number being reported by skijo around the town including Kagura. It is continuing to snow now and we do have it forecast to continue through tomorrow as well.. hopefully into Thursday as well. Clearer skies are forecast for Friday along with warmer temperatures as well. Rain possible at the weekend in town anyway as we hit a run of milder weather. Would be good if we could avoid that. For now though, snow is falling so bring it on. The just released Niigata forecast is for up to 10cm in Yuzawa before 4pm. Fingers crossed we can build up some decent snowfall in the next few days. --- Official resort snow depths @ Tuesday 21st January 2014, AM: Naeba: 180cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 240cm Gala Yuzawa: 310cm Iwappara: 180cm Yuzawa Kogen: 260cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 140cm Yuzawa Park: 185cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 260cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 250cm Joetsu Kokusai: 190cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Tuesday 21st January 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 363cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 30 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 227cm reported on 15 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.

Not that cold overnight only going down to -2 degrees and as of 8:30am it is -1C here in town. Light wind at the moment but stronger gusts forecasts for later. Still looking likely that it will warm up somewhat around Friday. A bit of a worry that it will warm up a bit too much on Saturday but it should be getting colder again by the beginning of the week.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . I had about 10-15cm of snow to move by the end of the day yesterday and another few cm this morning, though the resorts - including Kagura - are reporting 5-10cm. After that snowy day yesterday, this morning the sun is out over Yuzawa. It's not clear blue skies... more bright but overcast. -3C as of 9am. Hopefully some snow overnight tonight again. Warmer conditions on the horizon later on in the week and into the weekend. For now though, really nice snow conditions and a clear day to enjoy them. --- Official resort snow depths @ Sunday 19th January 2014, AM: Naeba: 180cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 250cm Gala Yuzawa: 310cm Iwappara: 180cm Yuzawa Kogen: 260cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 140cm Yuzawa Park: 185cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 260cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 250cm Joetsu Kokusai: 190cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Monday 20th January 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 358cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 29 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 222cm reported on 14 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 35cm Snowfall at base this season 468cm Posted on Wednesday 5th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . This is the kind of report I like writing, especially after all that warm stuff going on over the last week. Yes, it has been snowing and we got a decent amount too. Strong winds overnight mean it's difficult to put a number on it, but there was over 30cm on my car outside and in places it looks more than that. Resorts that report numbers are reporting the following as their haul of fresh overnight: Naeba - 30-40cm Kagura - 60cm Maiko Snow Resort - 40cm Some of the resorts are adding big chunks of cm to their official snow depths this morning, in the 40cm range. (Though curiously Kagura have got 60cm of fresh but not added any to the official snow depth!) But you can get the idea. What's even better is that it is continuing to snow now. The strong wind is still around and affecting some lifts - particularly up at Kagura it's only open from Mitsumata Ropeway to the Kagura Gondola so with Tashiro completely closed it's only a very limited area open up there. I can't find any other major issues with lifts, though you might expect some to be moving a bit smaller if the wind continues. Snow forecast to continue through the day and into tomorrow. Perhaps a break from the snow on Friday, but back to snow for the weekend. It's great to see winter return. If we get a fair bit today as well the slopes should have all got a good refresh. Long may it stay! --- Official resort snow depths @ Wednesday 5th February 2014, AM: Naeba: 220cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 230cm Gala Yuzawa: 270cm Iwappara: 190cm Yuzawa Kogen: 290cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 170cm Yuzawa Park: 160cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 240cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 220cm Joetsu Kokusai: 190cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Wednesday 5th February 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 468cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 35 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 days February 2014 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day 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 10cm Snowfall at base this season 478cm Posted on Thursday 6th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . It was cold out there yesterday, proper cold. A biting wind as well. Icicles coming down from rooftops. A real mid winter picture it was. A good thing of course, especially after just a few days previous. More snow overnight, perhaps 10cm or so at town levels, and resorts around town including Kagura reporting 10-20cm of fresh on the slopes. The wind means that there's places with more. Kagura is fully open this morning and so there should be some excellent untouched to be found up there as the main area was closed yesterday. Indeed there should be good conditions everywhere with the new snow we have. It is snowing at the moment and it's forecast to be snowing on and off during the day today. There's less wind at the moment though stronger winds are likely later on this afternoon. I'm glad to say it is remaining cold and should do tomorrow too even if the snow eases off as forecast. If you are coming for the weekend be prepared for snow to be falling as it seems we are due snow on Saturday and Sunday. The more the better in terms of the conditions out on the mountain.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . Not the most exciting things to report this morning. After a cloudy morning, later in the afternoon we enjoyed some clearer skies and avoided rain. Until night time. I was actually woken once in the middle of the night be the sound of heavy rain which obviously isn't good. This morning, Kagura are saying that they got 10cm of snow with resorts around town just a dusting. It seems that while it was raining down in town there was snow falling on the mountain. Wet and heavy very probably, but better than rain for sure! It's approaching 9:30am now and I'm happy to report that it has turned to snow. Light wet snow right now - not the kind that will end up with cm on the ground - but snow forecast until later this evening. This morning there's a wind blowing on the mountains and it looks like Kagura is on it's Mitsumata Ropeway to Kagura No1 lift and Tashiro Ropeway to Tashiro No1 lift pattern. Winds are likely to persist for the day. We're expecting sun tomorrow and then unfortunately rain on Sunday as it warms up. With the mild conditions, not much fresh lately and rain... well, snow conditions not the best. --- Official resort snow depths @ Friday 31st January 2014, AM: Naeba: 190cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 200cm Gala Yuzawa: 280cm Iwappara: 150cm Yuzawa Kogen: 270cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 150cm Yuzawa Park: 160cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 280cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 220cm Joetsu Kokusai: 210cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Friday 31st January 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 433cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 34 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 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 . The snow yesterday morning didn't amount to much but it was of course better than that pesky 'r' stuff falling! This morning there's no new cm to report, and it's a sunny morning. Not deep blue skies, but more overcast as the morning moves on. A feel good morning all the same, even though snow conditions are of course not perfect at the moment. Local forecasts still tell us to expect it to rain tomorrow. Whether it will higher up or not is unclear but if you are out tomorrow higher up is definitely recommended. Temps tomorrow might approach double digits, so it will be very mild borderline warm. We want cold of course and happily we can expect a return to more winter like conditions from Tuesday. Hopefully some decent deliveries of fresh snow as well. So for now hope you have a good weekend and enjoy it for what it is. --- Official resort snow depths @ Saturday 1st February 2014, AM: Naeba: 200cm Kagura (Tashiro): 260cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 310cm NASPA Ski Garden: 203cm Gala Yuzawa: 280cm Iwappara: 155cm Yuzawa Kogen: 270cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 150cm Yuzawa Park: 150cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 280cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 220cm Joetsu Kokusai: 210cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Saturday 1st February 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 433cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 34 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 days February 2014 snowfall 0cm 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.

About another 10-15cm of snow being reported by resorts around town this morning since yesterday, as of 9am this morning it is snowing slightly in Yuzawa while I brushed that new layer of snow off the bonnet of the car. We are told to expect the snow to stop and leave us with a mostly just cloudy day. It is -5C at 9am so it's keeping cold. We're expecting it to not be quite as cold tomorrow - but snow is forecast for the day and perhaps Sunday too.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 508cm Posted on Monday 10th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . Yesterday the snow was falling for most of the day again though not a huge amount to show for it really. 10cm being reported around resorts since yesterday. The Kanetsu Expressway was closed all the way from Nerima to Tsukiyono (in northern Gunma) until mid-afternoon yesterday due to the heavy snowfall in the Kanto area on Saturday. That meant that lots of people planning to visit by car on Sunday coming from the south very probably gave up on the idea. From what I saw of the slopes around town, it seemed less busy than usual for a mid season Sunday. Hope you didn't get stuck in traffic and encountered problems due to the weather over the weekend. OK this morning we have that bit of new snowfall. Half an hour ago the snow had eased off and we even got some blue skies appearing, it looked like we were going to have a fine day. But in the last 10 minutes or so it has clouded over again and snow is once more falling. Snow is indeed forecast for the day. But might the clouds break again? They seem to be in neighbouring regions this morning, so there's definitely a chance. Clear skies are forecast for tomorrow, which is a national holiday so should see popular places busier than a normal weekday. After that the next snow even seems to be lined up for around Friday. --- Official resort snow depths @ Monday 10th February 2014, AM: Naeba: 230cm Kagura (Tashiro): 270cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 320cm NASPA Ski Garden: 230cm Gala Yuzawa: 330cm Iwappara: 190cm Yuzawa Kogen: 290cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 185cm Yuzawa Park: 190cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 280cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 250cm Joetsu Kokusai: 200cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Monday 10th February 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 508cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 40 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 days February 2014 snowfall 75cm 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.

The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . It was snowing for the day yesterday, with another 10cm or so down here in town during the day and perhaps another 5cm or so this morning. Kagura report 10cm of fresh; Maiko Snow Resort report 10cm. Tokyo reports more than that. Yes, Tokyo got more snow than us yesterday which is... odd. They don't need it, let it fall here! Looks like the snow down in the capital and other regions to the south has caused some real problems. Above problems may well affect the slopes today here as many people who made plans to be here this weekend will not have made it or just cancelled their plans. I am hearing of cancellations at hotels in the town, for example. OK so we have had 5cm or so more snow overnight and it has been snowing lightly this morning though as I write this seems to have stopped. Snow showers on and off during the day is what the forecast currently says. For today and for tomorrow too. --- Official resort snow depths @ Sunday 9th February 2014, AM: Naeba: 220cm Kagura (Tashiro): 270cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 320cm NASPA Ski Garden: 230cm Gala Yuzawa: 330cm Iwappara: 185cm Yuzawa Kogen: 290cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 185cm Yuzawa Park: 190cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 280cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 250cm Joetsu Kokusai: 200cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Sunday 9th February 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 503cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 39 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 days February 2014 snowfall 70cm 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 493cm Posted on Saturday 8th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Yuzawa and we do have some fresh snow to report, though only a bit. There was 5cm on my car, and a few resorts around town say the same, though curiously Kagura only say a dusting. That's from 7am though so perhaps the snow had only just started to fall at that time. Talking about Kagura they seem to have moderately strong wind up there and the Kagura Number 4 pair lift as well as the Kagura to Tashiro connecting course seem to be closed at the moment - they hope to get that open again once the winds calm down. Back down here in town it doesn't seem to be that windy. Light snow falling at the moment and snowy conditions basically forecast for all of today and tomorrow. It's not crazy cold, with a temperature of around -2C at the moment. --- Official resort snow depths @ Saturday 8th February 2014, AM: Naeba: 220cm Kagura (Tashiro): 270cm Kagura (Mitsumata): 320cm NASPA Ski Garden: 220cm Gala Yuzawa: 320cm Iwappara: 185cm Yuzawa Kogen: 290cm Yuzawa Nakazato: 180cm Yuzawa Park: 175cm ---- Maiko Snow Resort: 280cm Ishiuchi Maruyama: 250cm Joetsu Kokusai: 200cm Yuzawa Now 2013-2014 season Data as of Saturday 8th February 2014 Total snowfall at base so far 493cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 38 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 40cm (11th and 13th January) November 2013 snowfall 5cm reported on 1 day December 2013 snowfall 131cm reported on 14 days January 2014 snowfall 297cm reported on 19 days February 2014 snowfall 60cm 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.
