Posted on Friday 26th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
More snow.
Around another 10cm of fresh as winds howl and it continues to fall. Doesn't seem to be affecting lifts though but visibility is poor (very poor) out on the mountain this morning.
The webcam isn't really showing much many days is it really?!
It will be good to have one of those rare blue sky days soon. Perhaps tomorrow, with a high chance of clear skies on Sunday.
It should be a good weekend.
