Hello and good morning from Naeba.
It may well be raining down in the central area of Yuzawa town, but down here in Naeba it is snowing and I have the first 3cm of the season to report from base. Those mounds of man-made snow are now surrounded and topped off by some of the real stuff. There's not quite enough to give the lower slopes a complete white cover but things are definitely looking winter-like this morning.
It is allowed to get really excited about the snow this morning but the forecast isn't showing much more of it through into early next week and a bit of a warmer weekend. (Sorry, just being real!)
But hopefully there is a chance that Kagura will be able to open this coming Saturday, and Naeba is heading for an opening on 7th December.
Fingers crossed!
