Posted on Wednesday 19th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
I think this morning the news is better than expected. Up to 30cm of fresh snow being reported from Kagura this morning along with a nice cold temperature of -10C.
Here in Naeba we have 10-15cm of new snow in village and 20cm or so on the mountain. Just to recap on the courses open at Naeba - Downhill course, Takenokodaira course, Daishamen course and the lower No4 and No5 course areas.
The Malibu Terrain Park plans to open up from this coming Saturday (22nd December).
The snowfall is forecast to continue today though will ease off into tomorrow to be followed by a few more clearer days of weather with temperatures getting slightly milder again over the weekend, though perhaps not as mild as last weekend.
Should be very nice conditions on the slopes today, fingers crossed I can report more snowfall tomorrow.
