Hello and I'm afraid I don't have happy news to report.

It's raining across the region.

The good news is that it should be getting colder as the day progresses and we are hopeful for snowfall, though it does not seem likely to continue much into tomorrow morning and there looks to be a bit of a milder spell coming early next week too.

It is a bit concerning but as we can't do anything about it we'll just have to play with what we have.

At Minowa, the C lift is going to be taking a rest until there's more snow. Other resort operations appear to be unchanged for the moment.
