Beautiful morning. Fabulous.

This fresh snowfall is allowing more of the mountain to open this morning.

A beautiful Christmas morning here in Naeba with blue skies and sunshine.

Fresh snow on the ground today I am happy to report. Less than 10cm at base, the resort itself is reporting 10-15cm.

There is a dusting of snow down below, more up top (no official numbers to report) and over at Kagura they are reporting 15cm of snowfall.

It got to snow yesterday but it didn't last long and didn't bring us much --- nothing more than a dusting really and I can just about justify adding 1cm for the record.

A fresh white thin layer of snow at base areas this morning.

A quick early report to let you know what will be open today.

I don't have a whole lot of specific information for you on this day known as 'Opening Eve'.

Just two days now until Naeba opens. There's just a thin later of snow on the lower base area slopes.
