Good morning,
It's a pleasure to report the arrival of some fresh snowfall at Naeba today. Not a large amount, but as of now, we've been blessed with 3cm of new, fluffy snow, and it continues to fall steadily. Forecasts suggest that we're in for more snowfall throughout the day and into tonight.
Visibility might be limited due to the cloudy conditions, particularly at higher altitudes. Additionally, caution is advised as the recent snow might conceal icy patches and potential obstacles on the slopes. Take care and be mindful of your surroundings.
Let's remain hopeful for a potentially significant snowfall in the upcoming reports. Until then, stay safe, especially amidst the bustling Sunday crowd.
