Good morning from Naeba everyone!


As of yesterday morning, we had received 7cm of new snow in Naeba town which was a nice thing to wake up to!


There's a lot of snow in the forecast, especially this Friday, so my prediction is for a fairly good amount of snow for opening.


Fingers crossed please everyone.


Naeba will open this Saturday 9th December.


Hopeful!


Planned opening on Saturday:


- Prince Number 2 Gondola

- Number 4 romance lift

- Number 5 high speed lift

- Takenokodaira romance lift


- A lower area and the top Takenokodaira area plan to be open (* not skiable top to bottom)
