Hello and good morning from Yuzawa.
It was quite chilly yesterday and while there was some sun at times there was also some very light snow falling in places.
On to today and there was a slight dusting of snow down to town areas this morning (gone in some places now, some rain has seen to that), but higher up Kagura are actually reporting 10cm of fresh snowfall this morning.
Winds are forecast today though and the Tashiro Area of Kagura is closed and the Kagura Number 1 high speed lift is on hold. But Kagura is open via Mitsumata Ropeway.
So Naeba is now closed and the choice is now GALA Yuzawa and Kagura.
