Good morning from Naeba.
It's the first part of the Golden Week holiday period... and the last weekend of operations here in Naeba.
Yes, just three more days left including today with the resort closing at the end of operations on Monday (30th).
And it looks like it is just the Takenokodaira course open for the long weekend, with the Number 2 Gondola taking you up there (and bringing you back down too).
So there's very limited terrain remaining open, but if you want some last sliding fun here in Naeba in fine spring weather, it's your last chance!
Planned operating dates:
- Saturday 28th April (today)
- Sunday 29th April
- Monday 30th April << last day of the season!
Planned operating ski lifts:
- Prince Number 2 Gondola
- Takenokodaira romance lift
Open course:
- Takenokodaira
NOTE: The Dragondola is moving from today for the Golden Week holidays - but it is open for sightseeing, not for skiing and snowboarding.
That's it for this season. See you next time!
