Kagura opens 23rd November 2011

It is snowing in Yuzawa right now and has been for the last couple of days with some lower temperatures of late. There was enough snow falling in the town last night to warrant turning the sprinklers on and the snow is settling all around. It is good timing too as with tomorrow being a holiday, Kagura is due to open.

They currently have 40cm on the slopes and are good to go for tomorrow. Great news for those of you that have been counting the days until you can strap your gear back on. They are planning to have about 600 meters of slope open.

So its a bus up from the top of the Mitsumata Ropeway to the Kagura Gondola and then you are good to go from there. More snow on the way so it promises to be a good start for the season in Snow Country.
