Good morning from Zao.
Some fast moving cloud at the moment and some blue sky too and good visibility. It should be a good morning.
With the recent snow and weather conditions, something of a return to winter, the snow/ice 'monsters' have been enjoying a bit of a revival up on the top area of the ski-jo! Check out the photo below.
And if forecasts are right there should be some more snow coming tomorrow and in particular on Saturday.
