Good morning from Naeba! It's a clear start this morning, with blue skies and 5cm of fresh snow dusted over the valley. The pistes are well groomed and fresh, still with pockets of powder to find from the recent snow storms. The air temperature is a frosty -6°C, but in the sun it feels pleasant. There is no wind to speak of in the valley. For the remainder of the day, we should expect the clear skies to continue, perhaps with some cloud drifted around the valley later on today.
Looking forwards, tomorrow is likely to be similar to today, but without the fresh snow overnight. Sunday is when the next snow system really kicks off, with light snow starting in the afternoon, moving onto heavy snow overnight. Moderate snowfall is to be expected for the following few days until Wednesday. Temperatures will likely be around 0°C, occasionally drifted above this during the day time. This is until Sunday night, when the temperature is expected to drop, with highs on Monday night of around -7°C. On Tuesday, the cooler temperatures will continue. There is little wind forecast for most of the week.
Shinsen'na!
