We have some blue skies and sun this morning. The forecast shows a run of days of mostly clearer and drier weather now - perhaps we might get some Golden Week-like weather (...now that Golden Week has just ended!) Today a high temperature of around 22C is forecast for town.
The Kagura resort remains open, via Mitsumata Ropeway. Here's what remains open:
- Kagura main course
- Technical course
- Panorama course
- Giant course
- Gondola course
- Family Course (Mitsumata)
- Gondola Line course (Mitsumata)
The Mitsumata courses are basically just a way back to the Ropeway and are now just narrow strips of snow.
GALA Yuzawa is now officially closed. They will re-open on 22nd July for the summer season, complete with an artificial slope.
