Seems like wind is affecting some lifts this morning.
The Tashiro Area of Kagura is closed today due to wind conditions. Kagura is open up until the Kagura Number 1 romance pair lift (at the start of the day).
The Southern Area of Kagura is closed today as they cope with all the snow. Other areas of GALA are open as normal.
