UPDATE


Really disappointing news.


The World Cup event today has been cancelled due to the bad weather conditions. (It was originally delayed, but now cancelled).


Feel sad for everyone taking part and also all the people working hard to put the event together.

Original report


Good morning from Naeba.


Fine weather for lots of the day yesterday and that first day of the World Cup event, rain later on but I am happy to be able to report some snow starting to fall this morning. Just a light cover so far but we can hope for more cm during the day.


I got to be on telly yesterday. Well, I waved to the cameras from afar anyway. Totally famous!!


Looks like the Dragondola and top lift are on hold at the moment due to wind.


The resort remains open to the public of course, but restrictions apply. If you are here, there's plenty of info around to keep you heading in the right direction.
