Good morning from Naeba.
It might be Tuesday, but it's a national holiday and so we can probably expect a busy Naeba today.
Some good deep conditions to enjoy too. I am seeing one source at the resort saying 40-50cm of fresh snowfall; I can report a good 35cm.
After snow overnight, it is snowing early on but likely to ease off either later this morning or early afternoon. Top lifts do appear to be delayed due to wind.
Tomorrow sunshine is forecast for the region so it should be a great morning to check out the first runs of the day.
A few days of milder conditions are still on the cards too - but it looks like more cold is coming early next week.
