Good Morning Everyone! Naeba will be opening at 0800 today and with some fresh snow on the ground, it could be a great early season day on the mountain.
As was hoped for yesterday, Naeba has received a fresh deposit of 7cm of snow overnight, which should freshen up the pistes a little. However, despite this, conditions will likely still be choppy underfoot. Due to the lack of base, please make sure to stick to the marked pistes today.
The forecast suggests we should expect continued snowfall over the next 3 days, with up to 30cm falling at the base of the resort. Alongside this there are strengthening winds, which may generate a significant wind chill of around -11°C, with the temperature at the base feeling as low as -22°C going into the afternoon today. After a dry, clear spell towards the latter part of the week, Naeba is expected to plunge back into storm mode towards the end of the weekend.
With the fresh snow and cooler temperatures overnight last night, the condition of the pistes should be an improvement on the last couple of days, so certainly an early season day to get after it!
Tidy!
