Good morning from Yuzawa.


It continued snowing during the morning yesterday and eased off for the afternoon.


We start this morning with lots of cloud around including low lying cloud. Visibility looks rather limited at the start of the day.


We are expecting a return to sunshine and warmth tomorrow.

Maiko Snow Resort and Muikamachi Hakkaisan finished up their winter season yesterday. I hope everyone there can take a bit of a well earned rest after a long season.


Yuzawa Kogen and Kandatsu Snow Resort both plan to be open until the end of tomorrow.
