Good morning from Naeba.
The mountain is currently being lit up by a beautiful orange sunrise, with the backdrop of clear skies. With 26cm falling in the past 24 hours, the pistes will be fresh and fun, with a small accumulation of fresh snow has fallen since the closure of the lifts yesterday. Yet another fabulous early season dump to rouse the winter season. With night skiing through until 20:30, and a growing number of rails on offer, there is plenty of fun to be had at Naeba through into the hours of darkness.
The forecast going forwards indicates clear skies throughout today, a small deposit of snow on Tuesday, which is then followed by warmer and clearer conditions into next weekend.
Get that sun screen on and crack out the carvers.
Lush!
