Yesterday did indeed clear up to be a fine and sunny one with some fine blue skies above.
Snow clouds must have moved back in overnight though as we are happily surprised with a decent amount of new snow. Another 20cm or so I'd say. Noice.
It's still snowing at the moment, about -6C here at village level and not much of a wind.
The Takenokoyama pair lift will be closed due to maintenance today but other than that we should be normal-weekday ready with both the Dragondola and the Prince Number 2 lifts getting ready to start up for the day.
Snow likely to continue through tomorrow as well, so all fingers and toes crossed that we get some nice new deep.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 170cm
Kagura - 330cm
