Posted on Saturday 26th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Now here's a funny thing. Just 5-10cm or so of new snowfall this morning in Naeba. It seems that down in the main Yuzawa town area and even further to the north they have got much more snow fall overnight than we have here. Sometimes this happens, but not often. With Kagura only reporting about the same, we kind of feel left out here. Apparently we are due to get those stormy conditions with strong winds from a bit later on today perhaps as soon as around lunchtime.
For now though it remaining quite calm but snow is falling.
By the start of the week we are on for a run of clearer days by the looks - and if the forecast is right of course - so a good dump today would be great.
Official resort snow depth:
Naeba - 210cm
Kagura - 350cm
