Posted on Sunday 9th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Fresh snow but heavy. People rushed out this morning so all churned up and an awful amount of crud about. Lower down is a bit better as not as much snow or traffic.
Viz is poor but not pea soup. Lower half is fine.
Should brighten later in the afternoon like yesterday.
Suggest lower slopes today.

Summit: 90cm
Paradise: 150cm
Chuo: 150cm
