Good morning from Naeba everyone!


Today we're seeing overall much higher temperatures than yesterday. It's fairly cold now but we expect the temperature to be above freezing before long.


The good news is that the weather is absolutely beautiful today. More or less a perfect bluebird!


We did see a little additional snow since yesterdays report however conditions on the slopes are going to be fairly chunky still.


Please be aware that not all the terrain is open at the resort yet. Just the areas where the snow has been collected together.


The weather going on is looking like it will be fairly warm tomorrow with a small amount of rain in the morning turning to snow in the afternoon. Then we're expecting a reasonable snow storm until Thursday.


Lifts Opening Today Are:

-Beginner Lift 4 (0800 - 1700 and 1800 - 2000)

-High-Speed Lift 5 (0800 - 1700)

-Prince Gondola 2 (0830 - 1545)

-Takenokodaira Pair Lift (0845 - 1530)
