Posted on Tuesday 12th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Brilliant conditions on the slopes - and slightly off them as well - yesterday. As initially thought it seemed like there as much more than the reported amount of snow and this morning Kagura are giving us another 30cm. That sounds more like it as it was snowing for the day filling in tracks. Wasn't quite as busy as perhaps expected, so perhaps many people made their way back yesterday morning instead of getting in a half day. No complaints, I think everyone out there would have had tons of fun.
Oh yes, 10-20cm in places here in Naeba village base area.
And on to today. Which might even be better. Not only do we have that new extra snow but it also seems to be clearing up as well. The sun is out here in Naeba with more and more blue sky showing. There still seems to be lots of cloud over Kagura but I get the feeling it will be clearing up today. (Total guess by the way, there's no science involved!)
Splash Bowl area at Naeba should be open at 10am today.
I see the official snow depth for Kagura has increased by 10cm.... after 60cm of so in the last two days!! The snow depth doesn't really matter though does it, it's that new layer that we want the goods on. And we got the goods at the moment.
