Posted on Monday 22nd December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A few cm of new snowfall this morning in Zao along with cold temperatures (-6C when I got up this morning), morning fog and generally poor visibility both at base and on the slopes.
Hardly any wind though... for the moment.
Very nice snow conditions out there with more fresh snow on the way today and forecast stronger winds.
Clearer weather is probably tomorrow before we get back into fresh snow falling for Christmas.
All of Zao is now open apart from the Ryuzan area (and the Karamatsu lift which is closed on weekdays).
