Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 7cm
Snowfall at base this season 1141cm

Posted on Thursday 20th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Naeba.


It is a lovely sunny morning, but importantly with another 7cm of snow to report.


No wind and excellent visibility.


Today is a national holiday and it is definitely busier than a normal weekday. I'm guessing that some people will be taking tomorrow off to make it a long 4-day and so tomorrow might well be busy too.


It is a lovely time to be out on the mountain, though.


Tomorrow should also be sunny and warmer.
