Happy Chinese New Year from every here in Naeba!


The slopes are in fine condition and the resort is bustling! This weekend is going to be excellent! We have had a light dusting over night so there are a few cm of fresh snow on top of well covered pistes.


Its fairly chilly out there and it is trying to snow still. Over the next day or so there is a fair chance of more white stuff falling from the sky!


Come out and celebrate the dawn of another year with us... Don`t be a chicken!


Plucky!
