Posted on Sunday 20th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Well, the clear skies didn't last the day yesterday so the forecast wasn't totally wrong. It was snowing by afternoon and this morning we greet a new delivery of soft light white stuff. 15cm or so here in Naeba with the resort saying 10-20cm and Kagura reporting 30cm of fresh.
The wind is affecting some lifts this morning. At Naeba the Prince Number 1 Gondola is moving but the Number 2 Gondola is not yet. And the Dragondola is waiting for the wind to calm. All of Kagura seems to be open as planned though so not so bad.
It is about -6C here now.
The sun is due tomorrow.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 210cm
Kagura - 350cm
