Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 85cm

Posted on Thursday 2nd January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Naeba.


5cm of fresh to report from base this morning; the resort itself is reporting about 10cm of fresh.


Decent conditions this morning I expect, but we all want one of those blizzard like storms to roll in and really unleash large amounts of snow on us. Tomorrow night seems like it might be good and into Sunday too.


Anyway maybe a bit more in time for next report as well with light snow forecast for the day and overnight.
