Morning from Zao.
Yesterday, there was a little dump. We had 15cm of fresh powder around the mid-afternoon. The winds were also strong but calmed as the snow kept falling until around 20:00. Was whiteout for most of the snowfall.
This morning it is partly cloudy at the moment with a light wind.
Paradise run has been taken off the 'open' list on the official site. Don't know why.
