Good morning. It's a cloudy and very warm start, but today is all about the wind. Already strong winds blowing but they are forecast to get worse into the afternoon and

A look around town and it seems that all resorts in Yuzawa are closed this morning apart from the below:
- lower part of Iwappara
- part of Kandatsu
- part of NASPA Ski Garden
- part of Nunoba
Other than that, lifts are not moving.

A high of around +12 degrees and very strong winds this afternoon, followed by some rain (and possibly snow higher up) into tomorrow.

Today is perhaps best left for a bit of onsen and sightseeing! Hopefully tomorrow the winds will be much calmer.
