Posted on Tuesday 19th December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
The snow has continued through the night and it is a cloudy morning. The snow on the ground is very light and fluffy and crumbles easily after being packed into a ball.
Diamond Valley is open though early on the Utopia area is showing as closed. So the ski area opening is still limited as we wait for more snow. The best chance of upcoming good snowfall is around Friday, but it should be keeping cold until then.
