Good morning from Yuzawa.


It is a dry morning with quite a lot of cloud, though the sun is trying breaking through at times. We are expecting the chance of some rain later on with a high of around 9C. The forecast of some snow over the coming days appears to have been scaled back somewhat, but there is still a chance around Saturday especially higher up.


Kagura remains on standby to open as soon as there is enough snow.

The three month forecast was released yesterday and it certainly looks better for Niigata than last year.


The headline is that it looks like we are forecast at least normal levels of snowfall through February, with January showing an increased chance of 'more than normal'.


Remember... normal for us here in this region is usually very good. More than normal is great. We'll have some of that please!
