Posted on Saturday 2nd March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Strong winds indeed messing us about this morning.
Let's forget about the 'R' yesterday and focus on the 5cm or so of new snow this morning. And much colder after the warmth of yesterday. And it is snowing this morning still, along with those strong winds.
It's limited here at Naeba with lots of lifts on hold especially the upper half of the mountain and the gondolas.
Tashiro is closed again I'm afraid today, along with the Dragondola of course, and so Kagura is just the Mitsumata Ropeway up until the Kagura No1 pair lift.
Hopefully things might improve, though the forecast doesn't look too hopeful on that score.
Tomorrow should be calmer.
