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.

It's a bright and sunny start in the Mikuni valley today. We can expect a clear day today, with possible cloud pushing in later bringing some snow showers.

It's a crisp, icy start today. Temperatures dropped to -12°C overnight last night, meaning that even the water in the carparks is in a deep freeze!

After a clear afternoon and evening yesterday, the snow is back! We have had 5cm already, and the clouds are still rolling in.

We have had 6cm of very dry, light snow since about 5:30am this morning, and it's currently showing no signs of slowing.

It's a clear start today, with a few clouds drifting about the valley and a light wind. After the 51cm of new snow received until yesterday morning, surprisingly only 6cm further accumilated in the past 24 hours.

It was a snow-globe day yesterday, with "Storm Halle" hitting with full force.

It's a beautiful start to the day here, with light, fluffy clouds clinging to the mountainsides backed with bright blue skies.

It's an overcast morning here in Naeba, and with a moderate wind and low visibility it's feeling very wintery in the Mikuni valley.
