Hello from Naeba.


It is cold and snowing again. 27cm of snow to report overnight.


It is also windy this morning and the gondola and Takenokodaira lifts are on hold because of it. We're basically limited to the lower section of the ski area at the moment.


The Dragondola is also closed today due to the Tashiro Area of Kagura being closed.


Forecasts indicate sun and calmer weather for tomorrow. Should be good!
