Naeba is a large, well-developed resort in Niigata Prefecture, known for its extensive lift network and wide groomed runs. The skiing mainly suits beginners and intermediates, with long pistes that encourage steady skiing. Snow conditions are supported by both natural snowfall and snowmaking. Facilities are concentrated around a large base complex, creating a resort-style experience. Naeba is well suited to skiers looking for convenience and easy access to services.

I was well taken care of with the ski school and private lesson and the instructor was very clear as well as supportive and willing to teach at every opportunity.I acquired the skills quickly enough that he took me on hard blues (borderline red runs) to see my skill level. We assessed my strengths and weaknesses and he talked to me about building up to steepness and practiced tight turns.Naturally I was not afraid of speed and it was easier to teach a beginner with the lack of fear. I am excited to go back again and wish I could live there to practice daily! The runs were plenty and if you are a pro and want more there is a gondola that takes you to a close by mountain with more runs!
