Good morning from Naeba.


It's way colder this morning with snow falling from the skies. Just 1cm on the ground so far, perhaps a bit more higher, and it's not really expected to last long.


Windy too this morning, enough to affect lift operations with the top area of closed at the start of the day. The Tashiro section of Kagura ski area isn't opening as normal either this morning and the Dragondola and Hiuchi lifts are not operating. (Mitsumata Ropeway is open).


Tomorrow will see a return to sunny skies and warmer temperatures.
