Good morning from Zao.
How about this then!? It appears that the ski area is open this morning. Or should I say, 'pre-open' (the word being used).
Information is thin on the ground early this morning, but it seems that at least part of the Chuo area is going to be part open. I can also see Uwanodai lift moving, though no people around there yet so it might just be practice.
The summit is reporting a temperature of -7C.
