Snowfall at base this season 604cm
Posted on Sunday 6th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A significant snowfall last night especially higher but good also lower.
Unfortunately viz is right down although you can just about see 2m of the slope in front to ride. Higher up it can be tricky in distinguishing trails which have bends in them.
There are strong winds around and especially roaring up Uwanodai where it can be a bit confusing seeing snow from the slope blowing up at you as if you were moving even when not.
There is supposed to be a bit of sun this morning but will need to wait and see. The wind however is likely to intensify.
