Posted on Saturday 8th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It is another really very cold morning here as winter almost seems to be tightening the grip on proceedings - we won't complain!
-8C here at base just earlier on, a few cm more of snow on the ground. Snow is falling, poor visibility on I would guess all of the mountain. A real winter day.
The forecast is telling us that this snowfall should ease today and tomorrow should start off clearer. We'll be back to snow by Monday though.

Utopia: 290cm
Chuo: 265cm
Paradise: 280cm
