Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 609cm

Posted on Saturday 1st February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Naeba where it is currently cloudy with light snow this morning.


20cm of snowfall since yesterday.


Not much wind this morning and visibility at base is good.


----------------------------


As of 10:30am, the official Naeba website says only 6 lifts are operating.


However, the "real time" map (on the same website) shows the Number 1 gondola, Takenokoyama top lift, Number 8 lift and Dragondola also operating (so 10 lifts in total). I believe the latter is the reality.


It is a real mystery why it seems so difficult for the ski area to communicate consistent and correct information on official sources. (It does get really frustrating when you are trying to provide good correct info!)
