Good morning from Zao.
Wow lots of snow to report this morning. I am measuring 33cm in my usual spot. Great stuff. And we can expect more over at least the next few days.
It is cold - very cold (coldest of the season so far?) and there's lots of fresh snow everywhere, being blown about too.
Visibility is a bit limited on lower slopes and poor in places.
Looks like the Kokutai pair lift is going to be moving today, so just four lifts not operating yet - including the Oomori quad.
