Good morning from Yuzawa.

Yesterday brought us some rain in the afternoon, and it was really quite nasty for a while from early evening.

This morning I am happy to report that the roads are dry. It's cloudy but we are forecast some sun today and a high of about 14C.

And... there's even some fresh snow up at Kagura. They are reporting 5cm of snowfall overnight - as well as a temperature of -5c! (From the early webcams it looks like GALA might have got a very slight dusting too).

A north westerly wind is affecting operations at Kagura - the Kagura Number 1 lift is on hold at the start of the day but looks like other than that it will be open from both Mitsumata and Tashiro.

GALA Yuzawa is opening as normal this morning.

With Kandatsu Snow Resort now closed for the season, Kagura and GALA Yuzawa are the only two ski areas in the region remaining open.

If the forecasts are correct we should be enjoying a week of mostly fine, sunny and settled weather.
