Posted on Friday 20th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
First thing this morning it was sunny in the valley but looking like going into Mordor at the top. It is now mostly sunny at the bottom with the sun in and out.
The top of Paradise is foggy but visibility on the slopes clear. The fog may go all together, however, we do expect snow from the afternoon.
The slopes are nice groomers you until hopefully tomorrow morning when there should be a good fresh layer.
