Good morning from a very quiet Zao.
It is cloudy with patches of sun here and there, mostly in than out and it as I'm is likely to be like this all day. It is bright though and very crisp and clear.
The slopes are a mixed bag. Although groomed, they are strewn with a modest amount of powder with some areas more than others (and very nice too). Otherwise they are hard compacted and running very fast. So, all in all, combos around.

Summit: 145cm
Paradise: 190cm
Chuo: 190cm
Utopia: 215cm
Uwanodai: 150cm
