A very good morning to you from Yuzawa.


I recall many times in these reports over the years when I have said how quickly things can change. This is one of those days.


It's so great to be able to report another 45cm of snowfall since yesterday.


In the interest of getting this report up, the detailed list of ski areas will be back... tomorrow. (We'll be preparing that during today to be ready for tomorrow).


Right now early on this morning, it looks like the following ski areas plan to be open ---- part open ---- for the first time this season today:


- Iwappara

- Maiko Snow Resort

- Muica Snow Resort

- NASPA Ski Garden (from 1pm)


These are aiming for opening tomorrow:


- Ipponsugi Snow Park

- Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort


Others are currently unconfirmed. A lot of busy people this morning!


The snow has eased off and there's a bit of sun appearing.


We still need much more snow of course but yesterday definitely felt more like what we expect.


The next decent delivery seems due from Wednesday.
