Posted on Monday 17th May 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
The weekend brought us some borderline hot weather on Saturday and a mix of wind and rain that closed Kagura for the day yesterday.
This morning it is still wet but there is less wind.
Kagura is open this morning - they are down to just the main course now (though five lifts are needed to keep that one course open).
It's the last week of the season and unfortunately it looks like the weather is going to be more rainy than sunny.
Next report at the end of the week and then the last one of the season on Sunday.
