More changes this morning.
The Takamagahara Mammoth area decided yesterday in the really-not-nice-weather to finish up for the season.
That leaves us just with a 10-20m wide and 600m long course at the Kumanoyu area now remaining open in the Shiga Kogen area - they plan to remain operating until Sunday.
Mixed weather conditions are forecast from now until then, the mix being made up of cloud, sun, rain, sleet and wet snow.
Funnily enough, there has actually been a bit of snow fall up here overnight and it's trying to snow now too up by Kumanoyu. It's a bit too late now! Foggy too early on.
