Good morning from Zao and a happy new year to everyone reading this.
Just a bit of snow to report but it's full speed ahead in 2019 as all the lifts and all courses at Zao are now open.
Limited visibility this morning, but people making the early morning effort should be rewarded with some fine snow.
The forecast seems to be showing light snowfall on and off over many of the coming days this week - doesn't seem to be anything major expected right now.
