Pre-weekend update
It hasn't been so warm here today even with the sun out. It has been windy though.
Tomorrow will also be sunny but warmer and less windy. Should be a fine day actually, though skiable area is getting less now with lots of patches showing through down to Paraside now. Cover on Uenotaira and Yamabiko - while relatively thin - is still good and the resort are putting a lot of effort into trying to keep things going smoothly. There's still fun to be had out there.
Some rain is expected around Sunday according to the forecasts.

Yamabiko: 80cm
Uenotaira: 25cm
