Posted on Wednesday 24th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Good morning from a cold and snowy Zao Onsen.
With around 6cm of snow on the ground here at base I would expect a bit more on the mountain so early tracks in particular should be good this morning... and hopefully fresh snow will be filling in tracks as well.
Regular snowfall is on the forecast for the coming week as well as continued cold temperatures so it seems we should have a good last part of February. And here's to a snowy and cold March as well.
