Good morning from Naeba.
The headline? 13cm of fresh snow on the ground. It was snowing until earlier on this morning but now there are some blue skies up there and the sun is trying to break through.
More sun tomorrow morning perhaps with a chance of snow later in the day. We're keeping an eye on later in the week though when warmer temps are due for the region - we can only hope it doesn't warm up too much around Friday and Saturday.
After that, we should be seeing a return for snow in time for Christmas.

- Prince Number 2 Gondola
