Posted on Monday 25th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
This weekend just gone has probably turned out to be the maddest of the season so far.
The coldest morning of the season and the most snowfall with another 50cm of new snow. It really came down yesterday and the wind made for some 'challenging' conditions outside.
It's change for this morning though with suddenly clearer skies (some cloud still around) and less wind. All lifts scheduled to be open.
Snow conditions and weather today couldn't be better.
