Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 53cm
Snowfall at base this season 522cm

Posted on Wednesday 3rd January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good Morning from Naeba! It's still snowing outside as "Storm Dougle" is giving us his best! The wind is breezing through the valley as a pace, so there are currently a number of lifts on standby this morning. This coupled with cool air temperatures will result in a chilly day. The fresh 53cm of snow will be fun on the pistes, particularly up at the top if Takenokoyama Pair Lift if they manage to open it today.


The forecast looking forwards is for "Storm Dougle" to stick around for another couple of days, with the heaviest snow falling throughout today. Skies are expected to clear somewhat on Friday, before the snow is back over the weekend.


Kelangan!
