The sun is out! While it is still snowing to the north this morning, here in Naeba and above Kagura the sun is out and the skies are clearing up. The local forecast still says 'snow', but I reckon it might just be a very fine day out there. Those clouds could always move back in of course, but don't look like doing so right now. For the moment though, it is a fine morning to be sliding down the slopes here.

15cm of fresh snowfall at Kagura and another 5-10cm or so at Naeba since yesterday.

It's a cold morning but the next few days promise to be slightly milder before temperatures plummet once again late weekend and hopefully bring with them a good new dumpage of snow Sunday through Monday.

Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 90cm
Kagura - 200cm
