Good Morning from a very snowy Naeba!
It snowed heavily throughout yesterday depositing a total of 28cm before nightfall. Overnight the storm has continued giving and a further 51cm has fallen, meaning the total count at sunrise was a fine 79cm. The clouds are rolling in and out of the valley a little, making visibility very varied, however there are smatterings of clear patches coming through. Due to the new snow, the pistes will be fresh and fun today.
The forecast indicates that the current storm will ease off throughout today depositing a further few centimetres. Through into Saturday temperatures are predicted to warm up, however another storm is forecast to roll in later on Sunday.
Conditions look fabulous today, so be sure to get after it.
Fun!
