Morning from Zao.
Just a dusting of snow enough for me to award 1cm at base!
This morning there's a lot of fog around with limited visibility on the mountain and just a light wind.
If it doesn't clear up much today it should more tomorrow and generally clearer and sunnier skies are likely over the next few days. Going to start getting warmer too
Nighta on the Yokokura area finished for the season last night, and the nighta over on the Uwanodai area will continue on until Monday 21st March - so just one more week.
