Posted on Saturday 27th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Morning (just about!) from Naeba.
It's the weekend and it is busy. We have had just a bit of snow (less than to the north in central Yuzawa town) and while there is still some wind around the top area is open.
In fact, almost all runs are now available.
Looks like the Number 1 gondola was also scheduled to be open (?) but it is not open due to 解氷作業 (defreezing?)
Fireworks tonight after night skiing.
Some clearer skies are due early in the week so it should be a good time to be here.
