Independent snow and weather reporting from the Zao region of Yamagata
New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 228cm
Posted on Sunday 22nd January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
The powder has gone (not surprising being the weekend) and been replaced with pisted runs with many slopes still hard underneath since it was quite mild during the day yesterday. The Chuo bowl has a softer thicker layer.
Blue patches around and, at the moment, only the summit is in a bit of cloud.
It will get cloudier later on with a touch of snow. Here and there it is already snowing but extremely lightly.
A nice day overall.
