We ended up getting some sun and blue sky yesterday after the very cloudy start to the day and the good news is that today looks like it should be bright today - from the early conditions anyway with the sun out at the moment, though some forecasts do still say we might get some rain later on in the day. It's a warm 19C at 9am in town.

Kandatsu couldn't last until the planned 6th May, but Gala Yuzawa, Tashiro and Naeba could - but today is the last day for all of those places. From tomorrow, only the main Kagura area will remain open. To be clear on that point, the right hand side Mitsumata run alongside the No1 quad will still be skiable, so there's still going to be a lot of area open.

A sunny day is forecast for tomorrow.
