As the end of the season is rapidly approaching lift operation is dramatically reduced in Naeba. Night skiing will no longer run and neither will the Dragondola so if you want to head over to Kagura you will have to catch the bus! This snow is meant to continue until Tuesday afternoon with Wednesday expected to be clear weather. We are then expecting a little rain on Thursday before it turns back into snow all the way through until Saturday. Yay!

The latest Naeba Now report can be found here . There is snow everywhere! As of 6AM this morning we had 20cm of fresh snow on the ground and this has built up to over 55cm as of 10AM!
