Posted on Friday 18th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We actually have something different this morning. Well yesterday was hazier than it has been but still sunny. This morning I can't see the mountains - is that fog? Whatever it is, it's raining as well early on this morning - even up at GALA Yuzawa and Kagura according to the resorts. It is forecast to clear up fairly quickly though and by lunchtime it should just be cloudy. Not as high temperatures expected today, but maybe up to around 14 degrees.
Tomorrow Naeba will be part open again for the weekend and of course GALA Yuzawa (North and Central areas) and all the Kagura areas will be open.
Cloud/sun is the forecast for tomorrow as it stands now.
