Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata

Snowfall at base this season 70cm

Posted on Thursday 15th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Ohayo from Naeba!


This morning the snow is falling again, and has been since yesterday afternoon so we have a nice dusting of powder across the slopes.


Again, there are the two lifts running as yesterday but the ski areas are getting wider so there is plenty of slope to enjoy.


The snow falling looks like it's here to stay so make sure you wrap up warm (and waterproof), and come and join us in the snow.


Today's lift operation includes:

Beginner lift No.4

High Speed Lift No.5
