Good morning from Naeba.
It is cloudy and a bit windy this morning, with 2cm of rather wet (rather than light and dry) snow to report.
Visibility at the top of the mountain is poor, but the area in front of the hotel has fair visibility.
The weather has finally calmed down and the groomed runs are looking good.
Clearer skies are expected even today, but a good chance tomorrow and Saturday too along with mild conditions.
The top Takenokoyama run is closed for the moment due to crack in snow up there and dangerous conditions.
