Morning from Zao.
A thin dusting of snow around my place this morning and (very) light snow currently falling at the moment - it looks like higher up there should be more but there's no change in the official snow depth numbers put out by the resort this morning.
Wind might well be an issue for some lifts today but at the start of the day it seems things are opening as planned.
And I hope to bring more news of snow in the report tomorrow...
