Original report from earlier this morning
Good morning from Yuzawa and there is good news to report.
Kagura may not be able to open today as it had hoped to, but it is snowing - and snowing down to town level... and there's a thin layer of snow on the ground. It's rather wet, but it's snow (at the time of writing, might be rain in town as the day goes on) and it is the first down to town level this season.
It will be interesting to see how much falls higher up by the end of today - and I will update you again tomorrow with any further info.

It looks like the small Ludens Yuzawa ski hill will not be operating for the 2018-2019 season. The official reason is 'maintenance' and it is unclear if and when it will re-open.
