Good morning from Naeba! It's a warm start already here in the Mikuni Valley, with the air temperature reading 4°C. The pistes are soft and slushy, and there is plenty of spring skiing to be had across the mountain today. The temperature at the base is expected to get as high as 14°C this afternoon, and with no wind it's going to feel rather warm.

Looking forwards, we have a mixed few days ahead. Tomorrow, temperatures are expected to remain high, but will be accompanied by strong winds of up to 30kmph at the base. This will bring with it a moist band of air from the north west, which will initially bring heavy rain, which turns to snow overnight on Monday night. Tuesday is expected to be somewhat snowy, with the wind continuing to gust through the valley. Temperatures will drop below 0°C on Tuesday. Wednesday will be another warm and clear day. Later in the week, another band of warm, moist air will move into the valley, again forecast to bring with it heavy rain.
