Good morning from Naeba.
Exciting news with 21 cm of fresh, dry snow today. However, it's not quite enough to keep the groomed slope untouched while riding. All lifts are open, but off-piste sections remain closed.
Higher elevations experience very poor visibility, yet winds are milder than forecasted.
The snowfall is expected to continue until Friday, raising hopes for lots of snow in upcoming reports.
