Morning from Zao.
Light flurry episodes throughout the day yesterday with another 7cm to add to the report this morning.
The temperature has dropped and hardened the snow. There were lift closures yesterday due to lack of snow.
Light snow has literally stopped as I was about to hit send but we might get some more during the day and tomorrow too.
