Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 27cm
Posted on Friday 13th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Naeba.
A fresh white thin layer of snow at base areas this morning. Not as much as we would like (is it ever? Always want more!) but good to see all the same. It's not going to make any difference to what is open though, and today we have the two lifts remaining operating for the day.
Just for the record, Kagura are reporting 15cm of fresh snowfall. So we can expect there's something up to that kind of amount fallen on the upper areas of Naeba.
There is some cloud still around but blue sky too. It should be a nice day. Hopefully more snow tomorrow after what is forecast to be a sunny start.
Naeba is part open:
- Number 5 high speed lift (8:00am until 5:00pm)
- Number 4 romance pair lift (8:00am until 5:00pm)
- The lower base slopes between those lifts are open with a fairly narrow course of natural + artificial snow
