Good morning from Naeba! It's a bright and clear morning here, with the sun beating down into Mikuni valley. The air temperature is on the cool side at the moment, reading -10°C, however with this sunshine it feels more fresh rather than cold. We can expect the skies to remain clear for the best part of the skiing day, but clouds will push in this afternoon, potentially bringing a little snow with it. The wind is calm currently, but again as these clouds push in we should expect them to pick up a little later in the afternoon. The pistes are in fantastic condition this morning, with the fresh snow and cool temperatures that we have experienced recently.
Looking forwards, we can expect a slightly warmer day tomorrow, with a lesser wind and some light snow showers. On Friday we will see significantly warmer temperatures, with daytime highs of around -3°C, pushing up to 3°C during Saturday day time. This indicates the arrival of our next significant storm system, binging with it heavy snow on Friday night. followed by light snow to the end of the current forecast. The wind will, of course, pick up somewhat during this period.
Ekisaitingu!
