Posted on Friday 16th April 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
The sun is out, but it's windy this morning.
Due to the strong winds, GALA Yuzawa is closed for the day today. The Tashiro Area of Kagura is also closed. At the start of the day only the Mitsumata Area of Kagura is planning on opening.
Kandatsu will probably be opening as planned with two lifts operating.
Almost definitely rain is coming tomorrow and it might still be windy too... (so watch out for the possibility of Kagura and GALA not being able to open as planned tomorrow too).
