Good morning! It's a very snowy and cool start today in Naeba, with an additional 32 cm accumulating in the past 24 hours. The air temperature is currently reading -10°C and is not predicted to rise much above this during the day today so be sure to wrap up warm out there. There is a moderate wind in the valley also, which is continuing to blow in more lovely snow. It will likely be a slow start for the lifts again today, due to the new snow and the moderate winds. The pistes, once we can reach them, will be fresh and deep, particularly in some wind-sheltered areas. Stay safe out there today and make sure to stay in bounds in Mt Naeba - there will be plenty of fun to be had on the piste with possible free refills!
Looking forwards, we can expect "Storm Finn" to keep bombarding us for a few more days yet. Heavy snowfall is predicted overnight tonight and on Friday night, with moderate snow throughout daylight hours. We can expect today to be the windiest day of the storm, with winds easing overnight tonight. The next break in snowfall is currently predicted to be Sunday morning, with a clear morning being forecast. A smaller squall of snow is expected to pass through Mikuni early next week.
Yukigafuru!
