Weather conditions:
Cloudy with sun
New snowfall:
10 cm (Naeba) 10cm (Kagura)

Report:
Yesterdays weather brought us quite a bit of powder snow all over the mountain, the top 2 man lift was open at Naeba in addition to all the usual lift operations. Conditions got quite bad towards the end of the day as the wind got stronger and caused white out conditions even causing myself to ride off and away from the piste without actually realising.

A great day this morning, with blue skies and sun, a bit of a breeze with the clouds running towards us from the Kagura direction. Sure to be some fat lines to be had up there on the mountain today.

Weather conditions:
Cloudy
New snowfall:
0 cm (Naeba) 0cm (Kagura)

Report:
It happens to be dumping this morning, though the weather forecast only told us about an expected 2cm - it apears to have given us a trusty 2cm in about 30 mins - Let's hope we get a bit more!

Pretty cold too up here in Niigata with -4 in the village and no wind. There was talk of the half pipe opening at Asagai today, but after the Pipe Dragon went through yesterday it was decided to wait until later this week. So expect some half pipe action coming out of Asagai this coming weekend. As far as kickers are concerned there's a nice big 'A' kicker in the park which kind of throws you up higher than some would normally like.

Cloudy
New snowfall:
0 cm (Naeba) 0cm (Kagura)

Report:
Things seem a little warmer this morning and proof is on the temperature scale with the red stuff sitting threateningly just below zero. A cloudy start to the day with the top of the mountain not visible from the town. Both of the Naeba gondolas are operational again today with the Dragondola also shifting people between Tashiro and Naeba.
