Morning from Zao.
Light flurries at times with just a dusting or so of snow overnight. It has been a mostly cloudy morning so far.
All lifts are open as planned and it should be a busy weekend. Maybe more of a chance of sun tomorrow (and then snow from Monday, hopefully).
It's the Zao Juhyo Festival event tonight on the Uwanodai slope starting at 8pm.
