Good morning from Yuzawa.
We are now down to one, with just Kagura open for skiing and snowboarding in the region.
The morning starts mostly cloudy and that is what we should expect over the next few days. Perhaps a few spots of rain at times.
GALA Yuzawa ski area is still open this morning... but, importantly, NOT for skiing or snowboarding. Yuzawa Kogen is also similarly open for sightseeing and late spring activities. To avoid any misunderstandings we are not going to cover those things on this report.
