Good morning!
The skies are clearing a little above Naeba and the sun is trying to win out. For the first time since Monday I can see the top of the mountain, despite "Storm Claudia's" slight hangover of very light snow and winds. Only the Takenokodaira Pair Lift is on standby, due to the need to dig out the chairs before they can open it! In total, "Claudia" has gifted us a a lot of new snow, meaning that the mountain looks very different to how it did before Christmas.
The pistes will be light and fresh today, but with the wind dropping significantly it should feel a little warmer than it has the past few days.
The forecast indicates we should expect light snow for most of the day, with fog and cloud passing in and out of the valley as the day pushes on. We should get a dusting of fresh snow again tonight, continuing through into tomorrow. Sunday is looking like the only dry day this week, with Naeba plunging back into storm mode on Monday, with the heaviest snow forecast for the middle next week.
Fun!
