Happy new year from Naeba everybody and apologies for the late update today.

From today most of the resort is now open. The only runs not open are:
The Takenokoyama Course,
The Takenokoyama Skyline Course,
The Men`s Riesen Slalom Trail,
The Men's Slalom Trail,
The Women's Riesen Slalom Trail.
From tomorrow we are meant to see the start of a two or three day snow storm which should help to get the final remaining runs to open.
