Amazing what a bit of snow can do. Yesterday, the first lift of the season started moving! There's not that much snow out there (30cm according to the resort) and not much course area open, but the Chuo Number 1 pair lift is operating and part of the Chuo area at Zao Onsen is open.
I'll bring you more details on Tuesday, when we will get the Zao Now reports into 'daily mode'.
Welcome to the 12/13 season!
