Got a bit excited yesterday didn't I?
Oh well, I'm allowed when we get over 50cm in a day. It was a snowy one all of yesterday and we got another 20+cm of snow since my last report up top, probably more, and more like 10-15cm lower down.
Where did all the clouds go? I ask because there are none up there now. Clear, blue skies. Lovely.
And the snow is going to be top draw today. Resorts should be open as normal.
More clearish conditions tomorrow but perhaps not as much as today and we don't have much snow lined up in the coming week on the latest forecast.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 150cm
Kagura - 320cm
All runs at Naeba open apart from Splash Bowl.
