We were up in Goryu last weekend and conditions were perfect, light snow on Saturday and chilly, but then pure sunshine on Sunday and Monday and gorgeous conditions. Will be up again in a week's time. [note from the editor: do contact the Help Desk (help@snow-forecast.com) if you are able to submit regular snow reports from the resort.
