The headline? 13cm of fresh snow on the ground. It was snowing until earlier on this morning but now there are some blue skies up there and the sun is trying to break through.

Snow has been falling since yesterday and there is a lot of activity as more of Naeba opens. There have been spells of clearer conditions with the snow coming back.

It feels like mid winter from this morning with snow coming down nicely (about 10cm and counting) with fairly windy conditions and limited visibility.

9cm of snow to add this morning with light snow falling early on. There might be breaks in the cloud today and then snow due again tonight - and we're hoping for a decent amount too...

A bit of snow overnight but it's pretty mild this morning and even though it was falling it wasn't amounting to much - 2cm to add to the reports.

This morning is turning out to be some changeable conditions. The snow clouds have gradually cleared this morning leaving us with some cloud, some blue sky and some sunshine too at times.

6cm of fresh snow measured at base this morning.

25 days later than last year, we have the first snowfall of the season here in the base areas. Just a bit around base areas and the village, more as you get higher up of course.

It's the first part of the Golden Week holiday period... and the last weekend of operations here in Naeba.

Yes, fresh snow on the ground on this last day that the resort remains open on a daily basis. Naeba will be closed from tomorrow through Friday and then re-opening at the weekend.

Good morning from Naeba. I am happy to report that we got 6cm of fresh snow yesterday evening accumulating at the base.

It's an overcast start today, with some light snow falling. There is a moderate wind gusting through, but due to the warm air temperature it doesn't feel particularly chilly.

Good morning from a very blustery Naeba! The air temperature is reading -5°C, but there is a strong wind accompanied by blowing snow meaning that the wind chill will be significant today.

It's a mild start here, but with the 13cm of fresh snow accumulation from yesterday the pistes are in excellent condition.
