Good morning from Yuzawa and welcome back to the Yuzawa Now reports for the 2019-2020 season.
It has been a mixed bunch of weather since May, but it is now getting rather chilly in the evenings and it looks like there was a sprinkling of snow up on the top area of Kagura last night. It's always great to see those first dustings.
Kagura (via the Mitsumata Ropeway) plans to open this season on Saturday 23rd November, so we are now just over two weeks away from those first tracks. (Hopefully). They had a pre-opening safety ceremony the other day so are gearing up for the season.
Two bits of news to share with you this Friday morning:
The downhill course from the Mitsumata area down to Mitsumata car park at the Kagura resort will not be opening this season. The reason is due to damage inflicted by the torrential rains during that powerful typhoon last month. They tried to fix it up but apparently there has not been enough time to get it sorted.
The Kandatsu Kogen resort has re-named itself. The new name is 'Kandatsu Snow Resort' and it looks like there will be a few changes due over there. More on that later.
We'll be back with another Yuzawa Now report next week with news on all the planned opening dates for ski resorts around Yuzawa and Minamiuonuma.
