Posted on Friday 11th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Nice snowfall to report this morning, very light dry snow fallen overnight and up to around 20cm on Naeba. I'd say more like 15cm on the cars in village, and I am hearing that Kagura has seen up to double that amount since yesterdays report.
Whatever the number, conditions should be very good today. Amazing what a good old dump of snow can do isn't it. The official snow depths haven't changed, so just ignore those for the moment!
It continues to snow this morning but the skies are due to clear up later on. Good chance of the sun out tomorrow, so weekend visitors should be especially happy.
It's a 3 day weekend coming up in Japan with Monday as a national holiday.
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).
