Fine clear skies this morning and it is nice and bright. But quite windy too.

I have to be early this morning but wanted to report on the strong blowing southerly winds that we have this morning.

Some strong winds since last night and a foggy and damp and drizzly kind of early morning. Rain is expected through today.

It's very windy, very mild, rainy in places - and Kagura will be closed for the day. That means there's no ski lifts moving today.

Blue sky with some cloud is probably my best description for the early morning.

We did get some rain yesterday but it stopped overnight and we have just a cloudy morning.

Ski during Golden Week!! If you're reading this report on the last day of April, you are truly a fanatic. Congratulations!

Today is going to be the last day of the season for the top Hakuba 47 lift and run.

Welcome to Showa Day, the first of the holidays in the famous Golden Week period.

Golden Week greetings from Nozawa.
