Posted on Thursday 4th April 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Hello and good morning from Yuzawa.
After the cold and snow (and wind in places) that everyone was surprised and talking about... there are blue skies this morning with just a little cloud around in places.
It is going to be a fine day with much milder temperatures, perhaps up to around 10C or even a little more - and more sunshine with the temps rising further tomorrow. So back to spring, it would seem.
It should be a great day to be out on the slopes.
