Very sorry for the lateness of this report today. We have had a few technical issues today that has affected some of our reports.
Anyway, it has generally been a snowy day here. Not the kind that gives us lots of new cm on the ground, more like a dusting. It has eased off for now this evening and currently about 0C.
The Naeba Now report mentioned this earlier on today, but Kagura have announced that the top No5 pair lift at the resort will be open from this Friday. That's way earlier than usual and good news because it opens up a really fun area. It's going to be strange being up there at the beginning of February, but I think it will be a popular decision.
Cloud and light snow forecast for tomorrow so perhaps similar to today. And then sun on Thursday.
