Good morning from Yuzawa.
Unfortunately, due to strong winds forecast, Kagura is closed today - meaning that no ski lifts are moving.
The grey and wet of yesterday is continuing for the moment.
Clearer skies and bright sunshine are due back tomorrow, so very likely Kagura will be back open as planned (partly, via the Mitsumata Ropeway).
