Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata

Posted on Thursday 5th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Naeba. Just two days now until Naeba opens. There's just a thin later of snow on the lower base area slopes - it's not uniformly white, but if the forecasts are right then tomorrow there will be more snow on the ground.


Exactly what will open will surely be reported later tomorrow and so I will post my report later in the day to cover that.


Currently very light snow falling in places.


See you later in the day tomorrow.
