Good morning from Naeba.


Around 25cm of fresh snowfall on the ground this morning and no doubt more than that at higher elevations.


Yes, lots of lovely snow. A bit of a wind too and cold - so real mid-winter conditions and they are likely to continue for a few days.


A few more lifts operating now but the Dragondola is closed this morning because the Tashiro area of the Kagura resort is not open due to the current weather conditions.


The Number 3 high speed lift is back open this morning.
