Snowfall at base this season 402cm
Posted on Wednesday 8th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
More fresh snow this morning with just over 10cm outside my place, so I would expect more than that on the mountain.
Limited visibility out there by the looks and moderate blowing winds; the wind will likely mean varying amounts of fresh snow in different places. Caution advised.
Otherwise it should be nice out there this morning.
Tomorrow should be less windy though snow due back by evening time.
Maybe some sunshine on Saturday.
