Morning from Yuzawa.
Perhaps it wasn't as rainy and windy as expected during the daytime yesterday, but it was definitely very windy later in the day.
This morning we have the leftovers of that with a bit of rain and some limited visibility. It is expected to improve though, ending up just cloudy.
Today is the last day of the season at Naeba and Yuzawa Kogen.
Tomorrow we'll be down to GALA Yuzawa, Kandatsu and Kagura. The weather should be sunny, too.
Update:
Kandatsu Snow Resort has announced that Tuesday 7th April will be the last day of the season.
