mattflemming 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hello all, I'm going to be in Niigita at the end of November (20-28), and I'm wondering if there's any chance I can expect any of the ski resorts to be open? If so, is skiing at this time of year worth it? Thanks, Matt Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The earliest is Kagura in Yuzawa. They are hoping for 23rd November, but whether they can do that or not... nobody knows yet. Check Yuzawa Now and Naeba Now report pages for previous years and keep an eye on here and those reports as that date approaches. Whether it's worth it or not? I don't do it, someone else might answer that! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Na, not even us folks in Kanagawa are that desperate. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 is Naeba not doing the man made snow this year? Link to post Share on other sites

mina2 6 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Didn't Naeba used to open considerably earlier than 4th Dec? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 4 years ago it opened 18th November http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/naeba-now-archive.php?month=11&year=2006 Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 but that would be the strip. I bet people just went for the mushroom soup. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It's still going to be "the strip" on Dec 4th, so totally comparable. They have simple cut costs by opening later. Link to post Share on other sites
