Posted on Wednesday 6th May 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We ended up with another fine, sunny and warm day yesterday.
And guess what, that's what today is going to be as well, with a high of around 25C forecast for the area.
Today is the last day of the season for the GALA Yuzawa and Naeba resorts.
Today is also the last day of the season for the Tashiro area of Kagura, the Kagura Number 5 lift and Mitsumata Collection. From tomorrow Kagura will remain open via the Mitsumata Ropeway.

I'll post a Yuzawa Now report tomorrow morning and then after that try to get one up twice a week until Kagura closes to update you on the latest weather conditions.
