Posted on Friday 22nd April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There's some heavy looking cloud around early this morning. Fog is reported at higher areas of Kagura too. Hopefully that will clear up and we might get some sun later on.
As the forecasts stand now there looks like there is a chance of some light rain tomorrow morning (not for a long time) with better conditions again in the afternoon.
There's just three more days of the season left at Kandatsu Snow Resort. From Monday, we'll be down to GALA Yuzawa and Kagura.
Afternoon update:
So much for the chance of a sunny afternoon today... instead, it has largely remained cloudy and we have had some rain too.
