Posted on Saturday 2nd December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There has been just a bit of a dusting really around town since yesterday (which has mostly gone since early morning). No word from Kagura yet, but there might be a bit of a fresh layer up there this morning.
Kagura opened at 7:30am this morning and presumably will be doing that tomorrow too (with perhaps a switch back to the 8:00am start on weekdays). They are also operating the Kagura Number 1 pair lift for the weekend.
