Good Morning from Naeba! It's still snowing outside as "Storm Dougle" is giving us his best! The wind is breezing through the valley as a pace, so there are currently a number of lifts on standby this morning. This coupled with cool air temperatures will result in a chilly day. The fresh 53cm of snow will be fun on the pistes, particularly up at the top if Takenokoyama Pair Lift if they manage to open it today.
The forecast looking forwards is for "Storm Dougle" to stick around for another couple of days, with the heaviest snow falling throughout today. Skies are expected to clear somewhat on Friday, before the snow is back over the weekend.
Kelangan!
