Posted on Sunday 3rd March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
5cm of new snow overnight and after the winds of yesterday, glad to report only a light wind this morning and all of the mountain back open. I saw a bit of sun earlier on, but for now cloud is back though it is now snowing.
A cold morning but it looks like we should expect some warm up starting tomorrow and gathering pace as the week goes on with positively balmy conditions by the end of the coming week.
