The snow of yesterday didn't last long at all and didn't make much of a difference with the day ending up being just cloudy. And that is what we have this morning as well. Cloudy. And very poor visibility up on the top of Naeba, enough for them it seems to close a few courses up there. That might change because according to the forecast things should be clearer than they are...

Important info time - it seems that now on weekdays the Hiuchi No1 pair lift is not operating. This means that to get back to Naeba from the Dragondola you will need to get a shuttle bus.

You want good news right? Well, if the forecast is to be believe we can be fairly confident of snow tomorrow, perhaps on Saturday and also early in the week as well. It could really re-fresh the courses out there if it comes off. Staying relatively mild over the next few days and so perhaps not a huge amount but it should start getting colder at the end of the weekend and so it would seem that is the best bet for a decent snowfall.
