Good morning from Yuzawa.

Rain this morning, I'm afraid - even up at Kagura.

It was mild overnight and you didn't need to go outside to know that it was raining and windy. The rain should be easing off and it should be getting colder as the day goes on today. We might even get some snow overnight, particularly at higher elevations and maybe down in town too. Then there is some more snow due around Saturday.

Kagura remains part open.

Lifts currently operating at Kagura:

- Mitsumata Ropeway (8:00am - 4:30pm)
- Mitsumata Number 1 quad (8:00am - 3:45pm)
- Mitsumata Number 2 pair (8:15am - 4:00pm)
- Kagura Gondola (8:15am - 3:45pm)
- Kagura Number 1 quad (8:30am - 3:00pm)
