Good afternoon from Naeba everyone.
Just a quick afternoon update for you all.
Since this morning a big old storm has rolled in and blessed us with a nice dump of fresh snow! We've had 8cm of new snow since this morning and it's showing no signs of stopping!
Things are looking significantly better for the resort opening tomorrow.
Expect terrain to still be fairly limited as whilst there will be coverage all over, there is no established base across most of the lower half of the resort. So please keep an eye open for the piste markers!
The weather forecast is looking snowy! This current storm is predicted to last all through the night. Slightly clearer weather on Sunday but then a return to snow storms from Monday onwards!
It's looking like a fairly strong start to the season.
