Awesome conditions yesterday out there and with another 30cm since yesterdays report at Kagura it will should be more of the same today. Any tracks that were out there will be history and it should be top quality stuff today. Yey! As they say.
Here are Naeba we had about 10cm or so in the village, perhaps less than expected, but still there'll be more on the mountain and conditions are good.
We were expecting the snow to continue this morning and through today, but it isn't happening like that. In fact there's quite a bit of blue sky over Naeba right now and less cloud by the hour, so the weather seems to be co-operating for the weekend visitors. Some local forecasts still insist it will be snowing all day though, so we'll just have to wait and see. I reckon it'll be a fine day, that's sure what it looks like to me anyway.
For what it's worth, the forecast for tomorrow is cloud and snow.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 200cm
Kagura - 340cm
Splash Bowl due to be open for limited period today.
