Posted on Saturday 17th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It's a lovely morning too with some blue skies. With the regular snow we have been getting in recent days, everywhere is looking beautiful. Isn't snow amazing?
And the snow is allowing much more of the ski area to open from today. Indeed, it is now officially 'regular season' (regular prices!).
The clearer skies aren't due to continue for too long though and we should be back to snowfall tomorrow. Perhaps quite a lot of it too...
