Posted on Saturday 5th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A good fall last night so many will be rushing off to the powder.
There might be patches of sun in the afternoon, however, wind might pick up as well (but may chase away some of the fog).
Suggest starting lower for viz today and at Kurohime in case that quad shuts but hopefully it will not be that windy.
