Good morning and a Happy New Year from Naeba! The snow is back already, however it's a gentle start to the next storm system travelling through. We've had 2cm of now overnight already, which is keeping the pistes in good condition. We are expecting the snow to continue throughout the day, however the heaviest snow is still to come.
Looking forwards, the snow is set to continue all week, with the heaviest snow fall on Tuesday and Wednesday. Along with the snow, "Storm Dougle" is expected to bring with him some strong winds, particularly during Wednesday day time. Temperatures are also expected to be dropping well below 0°C and remain there for most of the week.
We in Naeba hope you all have a wonderful start to 2018 and we look forwards to seeing you here soon!
