Posted on Sunday 11th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning everybody!


Well the last 24 hours have seen the heaviest snowfall so far for this season.


There is fresh powder and face shots for all.


On top of this it doesn't look as though the snow is stopping anytime soon with snow forecast every day for the coming week.


Good job with those prayers to the snow gods everyone. It has obviously paid off.


Only two lifts are running today however the ski trails have opened up far more than yesterday, meaning there is way more terrain to ride. There is also much less chance of hitting bottom from now on as we have a decent base of snow on the mountain.


Today only beginner lift No.4 and High Speed No. 5 are running. Night skiing is planned to run tonight.
