Some cloud around but blue sky as well and the sun is out as I write this report.

The sun is out early on this morning and it's a beautiful clear sky morning here in Yuzawa.

Yesterday was a beautiful day throughout the region.

If all is going to plan, the first people should be getting on the Mitsumata Ropeway as I type this and the Yuzawa ski season will have officially kicked off.

Open kettei! Yes, the decision has been made and Kagura is going to open from tomorrow morning. Hurray!

A few sightings of snow as well on the higher mountains, and a bit spotted on the top area of Kagura as well.
