Good morning from Yuzawa.


And Happy New Year!


Earlier this morning there was a lot of cloud around, but it has been clearing and there is a lot of blue sky around now. The sun is out and the mountains look beautiful.


All being well, it will be snowing by tonight and we should get quite a lot of it over the next few days.
