Good morning from the Urabandai region.

It was a rainy day yesterday but it happily turned into snow overnight and there's some fresh snow covering the slopes this morning. Not a lot, just a few cm.

The weather yesterday was very warm feeling like the end of March, but I am happy to report that this morning it feels much colder. It's more than 10 degrees colder than yesterday.

There is a lot of cloud but some blue skies are appearing, so conditions this morning should be nice.

Ski resorts in the southern area of Mt, Bandai open today are Alts Bandai, Inawashiro, Inawashiro resort and Listel.

The Mt. Adatara area ski resorts - Minowa and Numajiri - are also covered with some fresh snow this morning.

The photos for today are from Alts Bandai (the first two) and Grandeco.
