Good morning from Naeba.
It is a lovely sunny morning, but importantly with another 7cm of snow to report.
No wind and excellent visibility.
Today is a national holiday and it is definitely busier than a normal weekday. I'm guessing that some people will be taking tomorrow off to make it a long 4-day and so tomorrow might well be busy too.
It is a lovely time to be out on the mountain, though.
Tomorrow should also be sunny and warmer.
