Posted on Wednesday 1st February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A fine start to the morning with the dawn sun lighting up the ridges except for a cap above the summit.
Looks like a clear bright morning so make the most of it as snow clouds are bound with what should be a decent fall overnight (so be aware that some lifts will be opening later than usual).
Temperatures are up slightly but there is a bit of wind around higher up.
