Posted on Thursday 10th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Some new snow to report this morning. A rather vague sounding 10-30cm at Kagura - presumably lower and upper areas - and more like 3-5cm here in Naeba village - so varying amounts but importantly some fresh snow. It is snowing this morning as well with snow forecast for the day. However it's not the kind of snowfall that brings with it large amounts of new cm on the ground so I wouldn't expect a big haul to report tomorrow morning. Could be wrong though!
Update --- that 30cm is coming from the Tashiro area.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 150cm
Kagura - 320cm
All runs at Naeba open apart from Splash Bowl (though some lifts rested for weekdays including Prince No1 Gondola).
