Good morning from Naeba.


Despite heavy wet snowfall last night, this morning greeted us with light and fluffy snow. We've accumulated a whopping 40cm at the parking lot!


Unfortunately, strong winds have forced the closure of the gondola, but four base lifts are still running.


Snow continues to fall steadily, accompanied by strong winds. Tomorrow might just be the day we've been waiting for with some sun forecast. Good times.
