Good morning from Naeba everybody.
Today we have a lot of fresh powder on the ground. 15cm to be precise with even more higher up. The snow also looks as though it is going to carry on for the rest of the day so conditions should be pretty soft all day.
As the end of the season is rapidly approaching lift operation is dramatically reduced in Naeba. Night skiing will no longer run and neither will the Dragondola so if you want to head over to Kagura you will have to catch the bus!
This snow is meant to continue until Tuesday afternoon with Wednesday expected to be clear weather. We are then expecting a little rain on Thursday before it turns back into snow all the way through until Saturday.
Yay!
Lifts running today are:
-Beginner lift No.4 08:00-17:00
-High-Speed lift No.5 08:30-17:00
-Prince Gondola No.2 08:30-16:00 (last ride up 15:30)
-Takenokodaira Romance Lift 08:45-15:45
-High-Speed Lift No.3 08:00-17:00
