Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 89cm
Posted on Wednesday 13th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
The clouds are clearing above Naeba to reveal a dusting of fresh snow across the mountain. A sweet 5cm of fresh snow fell overnight, and the light snow is due to continue throughout today. Conditions will still be choppy underfoot and, as previously mentioned, the lack of base will mean sticking to the marked pistes is the best bet.
The forecast suggests we should expect continued light snowfall throughout today and tomorrow, with conditions clearing and warming up through into the weekend. Another short spell of snow is expected on Sunday with the freezing level dropping to 0m and temperatures falling below 0°C again.
The dose of fresh snow will have kept the pistes crisp, especially up towards the top of the mountain. With some patchy sun coming out as a type, it looks like a lovely day to stretch those legs.
Cracking!
