Morning!

It is a much clearer start to the day today and we are due a day of sunshine.

Actually a bit chilly early on - well, compared with recent days - and today a high temperature of around 12C is forecast for the village.

More sun tomorrow too.

All base runs are now closed so you need to get the gondola back down from the upper areas.

From now on, on weekdays the Uenotaira and Paradise areas are also closed and so it's just the Yamabiko courses open on weekdays this week.

Lifts open today (planned):
Nagasaka Gondola, two Yamabiko quad lifts

Courses open today (planned):
