Naeba Now statistics

Posted on Wednesday 28th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Naeba.


We've been blessed with another 7cm of fresh snow overnight, adding to our winter survival kit.


Today, winds are not as strong, allowing the Number 2 and all other lifts to run as scheduled this morning. Dragondola opening was postponed until 10am.


While off-piste black runs remain closed due to wind-affected snow and patches of grass peeking through, the slopes are still very enjoyable.


Keep an eye out for deeper snow sections on the sides of the slope on the way down from the top of the gondola.


The sun is shining through the clouds, and we might even see more clear sky later today.
