Good morning from Nozawa.
It's a bit of a damp/wet morning but from the webcam it looks like the top Yamabiko area is above cloud. A good reason to get up there!
Today you can't use the Rinkan course to get back town the mountain as they do something with the snow over there... gondola ride required.
The rest of this weeks looks like it'll be a mix of cloud, light rain, perhaps light snow at higher elevations. Sun is more likely around Saturday.
