Posted on Thursday 2nd February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A significant dump last night albeit with the slight rise in temperature, a bit heavy.
Fog on the mountain but mostly clear to see in front of you.
Wind is up today so there may be some closures.
I'd suggest enjoying lower down first.
Although not snowing now, it should snow lightly during the day. There may also be patches of clarity - the mountains on the other end of the distant valley are in bright light.
