Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 1053cm

Posted on Friday 17th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Morning from Naeba and again the resort is reporting 5-10cm of fresh snow this morning. Hearing that there's some pretty nice conditions out there too on higher elevations. I need to head up there this morning for a first-hand check.


Clearer skies are forecast for the weekend and there's not much in terms of snow potential over the coming week. Perhaps we might get a surprise or two.


Long weekend ahead as Monday is a holiday.
