Morning from Naeba.
It’s still quite windy at the base, but Gondola 2 is spinning, offering hope that it will open for the crowd that has been lining up since early morning.
Also if the official site is to be believe, the top Takenokoyama lift is scheduled to be operating today from 9:30am. Excellent.
It’s snowing, with fair visibility at the base, though it seems poor higher up.
We’ve received 5cm of fresh snow.
It might clear up later, but we wouldn’t mind if it keeps snowing!
Tomorrow set to be sunny and milder.
