Good morning from Naeba.
Well, Day 2 of the World Cup event here at Naeba was cancelled yesterday. Strong windy conditions just didn't allow it to happen. At one point just one lift was operating.
A lot of people had put in a lot of work getting everything ready battling less-than-perfect snow conditions etc.
So it seems pretty cruel that after all that, it couldn't be completed. But what can we do.
It's frankly going to be hard for people to put on a happy face this morning. (I wasn't even directly involved in any way, and I know I'm struggling).
Anyway, a very big 'otsukaresama' to everyone involved along with the acknowledgement of the disappointment of many.
Onwards we go and this morning things are much calmer and it's mostly blue skies over Naeba with a few white fluffy clouds. The sun is out.
Today is a national holiday and with the nice weather I personally hope lots of people turn up and the resort can enjoy a good day.
See you tomorrow.
