Posted on Friday 21st January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Another beautiful morning which should last longer than just the morning yesterday.
A good fall of snow last night too. This has meant though that many of the lifts are not yet open (at time of report).
Most of the slopes are soft-groomed but they have left some sides untouched so look for those if you like the fluffy stuff.
Official snow depth
Summit: 140cm
Paradise: 190cm
Chuo: 190cm
Utopia: 230cm
Uwanodai: 150cm
All areas and lifts should be opening.
