We did end up with some nice weather yesterday morning with some blue sky and sun for a while before clouding over by afternoon.
It's the weekend again and not a very nice start weather wise. Light rain and some limited visibility in places. It's expected for the day.
Looks like the Tashiro Area of Kagura will be closed today due to strong winds forecast, and Kagura open up to Number 1 pair lift. Also, only the lower areas of Naeba are open, again due to forecast wind.
Tomorrow (and Monday) should be much nicer!
Future possible snowfall update: I'm still pleased to see some possible snow on the radar. It may not be 'full on', but any precious fresh layers would be great and very welcome. For now, on we go!
