Good morning from Zao. Poor visibility outside this morning I can see almost none of the mountain from the village area. Cloudy with some light snow falling and a temperature of around -2 degrees with the resort reporting temperatures varying from -2 at base and -7 up at Utopia.
Hopefully the snowfall might get heavier later today, snow is forecast through tomorrow possibly bringing some stronger winds with it. Right now though not much wind and the resort is all open.
