Morning from Yuzawa.
We did get some blue sky yesterday morning but it was limited and it remained largely cloudy.
It was quite cold out there, and in some ways it felt more like February than our actual February felt. If that makes sense... That lack of a big March warm-up is really going to help ski areas get to their planned closing dates.
There seems to have been a dusting of snow at higher elevations, but nothing much. It was actually trying to snow last night when I went out for a walk.
It is another cloudy morning and that is probably what we are going to get today and tomorrow. Some forecasts even say there might be some (probably very) light snow at times again.
GALA Yuzawa is going to be open for night skiing tomorrow, the first of four this season.
