Morning from Naeba.
Lots of lovely fresh snow to report to you this morning. 35cm of it in fact... and counting.
Perhaps we weren't quite expecting this much (well, I wasn't) but it's always welcome.
Excellent snow conditions right now - there's a bit of a wind and it is rather cold. Limited visibility too.
Tomorrow the sun might make an appearance which will make for a fabulous day to be on the mountain.
Can't ask for much more at the moment and I hope you can be here to enjoy it.
