Greetings from Naeba.
The morning brings a fantastic sight of snowfall, blessing us with a fresh layer of 17cm of fluffy goodness. This is a step towards bringing Naeba back to its snowy glory.
While visibility isn't optimal, the consistent snowfall promises to add more softness to the slopes throughout the day. Considering the forecast for a snowstorm and strong winds tomorrow, today might be a good day to hit the slopes.
Please note that the Dragondola is not operating today, and access to the top of Takenoko (Naeba Ski Resort top) is currently unavailable. Steep ungroomed runs remain closed.
The ski patrol had a mission yesterday to find those some riders ducking the ropes. While we can't blame anyone tempted by the allure of fresh powder, it's just not good behaviour to ignore your hosts 'rules'. They are there for a reason. And there are costs involved for out of bounds accident recovery too, so just best not to go there.
Enjoy the snow responsibly and have a fine day.
