Rain was on and off yesterday, but it's most defitely 'ON' this morning with heavy consistent rainfall outside this morning. I think I'll pass on the skiing myself, this morning! For those hardy enough to need to be out there today though (and good for you!), the resorts are actually open this morning. It looks like the resorts are pretty much open as planned actually.

So, how about the weekend proper? The latest forecasts seem to be telling us that while there's a better chance of clearer weather and the sun, there's also going to be a chance of showers as well... both tomorrow morning and on Sunday. Though hopefully not in the way the rain is coming down this morning. Let's hope the rain holds off.

From Monday, Kagura (via Mitsumata) will be the only resort are remaining open.
