Posted on Thursday 28th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Good morning! "Storm Claudia" has really settled in and the snow hasn't stopped falling for over 24 hours now. On top of the 59cm we received yesterday, a further 69cm has fallen since yesterday morning. The pistes will be fresh and have plenty of new snow on them, however due to continuing strong winds, the Dragondola, Takenokodaira Romance and Prince Gondola No. 1 are on standby. It is still possible to get up to the top of the ski area using Prince Gondola No. 2.
The forecast is suggesting the high winds are going to continue throughout today, easing off during the daytime tomorrow. The snow will continue to fall, albeit at a slower rate, through until Saturday morning, when we will get a break until Monday evening. The next storm is already on the horizon, blowing in early next week.
In the meantime, enjoy those free snow refills and get after it!
Tidy!
