Good morning from Naeba! It's a cloudy overcast start to the day today, with this high cloud expected to hang around for a little while yet. Due to the high cloud, it's a day for the low light lenses to come out of their box. The temperature is below 0°C, but due to the cloud cover it feels a little milder than it might with clear skies. There is very little wind to concern us today.

The Roxy Park is getting into the swing of things in Naeba, with a number of small kickers and boxes out under High Speed 5, but there are plenty more features still waiting to be dug out from under the old Pair lift there.

Looking forwards, sadly the rain that has been forecast for Monday evening hasn't disappeared off the radar yet. At the base, temperatures are expected to rise well above 0°C later on Monday and through Monday night, providing the opportunity for rain to fall all the way up to the top of the mountain at 1789m. This should, however, turn to snow into Tuesday and could persist right through the week. A reasonably-sized storm system is being predicted, so another good dump of powder might be on the cards this week. One positive to note is that this coming storm system is expected to be far less windy than both "Storm Dougle" and "Storm Claudia".

Yowai hikari!
