Posted on Thursday 26th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A cloudy start to the day and just another thin layer of snow down at base, 1cm.
Earlier I couldn't see the top of the mountain but clouds seem to be clearing and I expect today will end up a clear, blue sky day with the sun out.
Snow and colder temperatures due tomorrow and through the weekend. Perhaps strong winds too. A storm is coming!
Official snow depths:
Utopia: 145cm
Chuo: 130cm
Paradise: 140cm
Uwanodai: 80cm
