Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 207cm

Posted on Saturday 1st February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


It is a good morning from Naeba.


I can report 12cm from base; the resort is actually reporting 30-40cm of fresh snowfall on the mountain which is great to hear. (Just ignore the official snow depth number for today, it hasn't changed).


Back on track: Lovely. Probably light snow through the day with things easing off tomorrow.


Let's enjoying!
