Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 1067cm

Posted on Wednesday 22nd March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Morning from Naeba and there was some pretty heavy snow falling earlier on. And some strong winds as well, messing around with the operation of the Dragondola and top pair lift...


The snow has eased off since earlier on and now things have cleared up considerably and the wind has got less - allowing those lifts to re-open.


Here's how the rest of the season is planned for Naeba:


- open daily until Sunday 2nd April;

- open on weekends and holidays between Saturday 8th April until Sunday 23rd April;

- open daily from Saturday 29th April until Sunday 7th May


Nighta will continue daily until Sunday 26th March.
