Posted on Monday 18th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.


It is a cloudy start to this Monday morning in Zao with the top area of the resort not visible from base. Decent visibility for skiing and boarding though.


Fairly mild morning and currently around -1 degrees with a low up on Utopia of -7. We might get some light snow falling later on.


Other than that not much to report this morning. Chance of light snow showers on and off through this week, and from tomorrow it should get colder.
