Good morning from Naeba! After a very blustery day yesterday, you will be pleased to hear that the weather has calmed significantly in the Mikuni Valley. Strong winds throughout yesterday scrapped the pistes as bar as they could, revealing ice for those who braved the skiing through into the late afternoon. Overnight, we have had clear skies, leading to a cool start here today at -6°C. The weather is expected to remain stable for the next couple of days, with daytime highs pushing up today to as much as 7°C. These warmer temperatures will melt up any remaining hard pack from yesterday wind scouring meaning there will be spring conditions across the mountain as off around 11am. There will be little wind to note and all lifts are open.

Looking forwards, we still have a variable forecast ahead. Temperatures are expected to rise as high as 13°C in the valley tomorrow, with clear skies and no wind. On Monday, temperatures will push up even further to 14°C, but this is accompanied with a moderate wind which will bring in some moist air from the north west. The will initially fall as rain during Monday afternoon, but rapidly turn to snow overnight, with significant accumulations currently predicted.
