Independent snow and weather reporting from the Zao region of Yamagata
New snowfall at base 14cm
Snowfall at base this season 69cm
Posted on Thursday 15th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Morning from Zao Onsen and I have just under 15cm of fresh snow to report from down here at base. Nice, that should be a bit more higher up and make for some good conditions on the runs that are open.
Opening remains unchanged this morning.
Snow is forecast over today and tomorrow though not much after that through into early next week and so we'd really like a lot over the next 48 hours please.
