Posted on Saturday 2nd March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Rain last night. Never good.
But, it is much colder this morning and we have a few cm of fresh snow.
It is continuing to snow now - along with some strong winds which are unfortunately stopping some lifts from operating, including the top ropeway. It's a shame that people coming for the weekend will get these less than ideal conditions.
Tomorrow should be much calmer.
