A bit of sporadic rain so far this morning in Minakami. It is OK now with clouds overhead but bit misty at the top at Tenjin and the snow is pretty soft this morning. The melt is progressing quickly as the snow takes a battering from warm temperatures and the odd rain shower. The forecast has been all over the place recently but is currently showing rain for the rest of the week and then it should clear up for Saturday. Sunday might bring rain showers, and at the close of play on Sunday they will close another lift for the season meaning there will only be one lift left for the last week of the Tenjin season.
