Posted on Monday 25th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Well yesterday was a bit of a mad one. With only the Mitsumata area of Kagura open, terrain was limited but the snow was of course excellent. It kept on snowing as well and by the time people were ready to finish up for the day traffic on Route 17 was in gridlock. Took more than a few people quite a long time to get back to the train station in Yuzawa and the Interchange.
This morning Kagura is reporting yet another 40cm of new snowfall. And it's still snowing. And.... today all areas of Kagura will be open. Well, the main Kagura bit up to the main quad lift.
Here in Naeba we have stronger winds persisting this morning which may well affect some lifts, though it looks like the resort plans to have the Number 2 Gondola operating.
This has probably been one of the most snow-receiving winter storms of the season. Not bad at all for late February.
Bottomless, anyone?! ;)
Snow conditions could hardly be better, even if we tried to imagine it and the lucky folk going up there this morning will surely be in for a treat.
Just be careful where you go and don't overdo it, you could very easily get buried in the snow.

Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 320cm
Kagura - 390cm
Incredibly, we're still on '390cm', even though we've had close to 2m of snow fall within the last 6 days!
