Good morning from Naeba!
After a mixed day of weather yesterday, the accumulation at the base was limited to just 1cm. This doesn't seem to do justice to the condition of the pistes today, where small powder stashes are dotted about the mountain, on the lee-side of tree patches and roll overs. The skies are clear this morning, and despite the cool air temperature of -9°C, it feels pleasantly warm in the sunshine. There is little wind to concern ourselves with. Tonight, we can expect some clouds to roll in, with the potential from further small accumulations.
Looking forwards, we have a mixed bag of weather coming up. The remainder of today will be warm and sunny, but by tomorrow the skies will have clouded over again. These are being brought in by a moderate wind, and cause the maximum air temperature to drop to comfortably below 0°C. On Friday, we will have another clearer block of cool air moving through, but the clouds will be back again by Saturday. Light to moderate snowfall is predicted over the weekend.
