Good morning.

Yesterday the wind did get rather strong and then we got some spots of rain, and heavier rain overnight. Right now things are rather damp looking but rain is holding off, but there is a chance of some rain at times today and tomorrow.

GALA Yuzawa was closed for the day yesterday and the top lift at Kagura closed around lunchtime - but both resorts appear to be opening as planned this morning.
