Posted on Monday 11th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
20-30cm of snowfall is the headline this morning. And under-report I reckon up there. Not much of a wind and the snow coming down in style as I write this here in Naeba. That number is being reported by both Naeba and Kagura, but it's going to build up with the snow falling as it is right now.
There's a light north westerly wind and it is about -7C at base here. All open as normal and those first riders will be up there sliding down that lovely new snow right now. Ii ne.
A stronger wind is forecast for later in the day so that might affect things. Snow will hopefully and probably continue for the day today with brighter conditions likely tomorrow morning.
Today is busier than a normal Monday though crowds should start to thin out around lunchtime. All back to normal from tomorrow.
