Zao Now
Zao Now: Tuesday 19th January 2021
Whoo hoo, lots of new snow today.
Zao Now: Monday 18th January 2021
The forecast says sunny spells and indeed it was - for the first hour of the day.
Zao Now: Sunday 17th January 2021
Aargh, we need more snow! The ground is hard with nodules of ice strewn about with some ice burns.
Zao Now: Wednesday 13th January 2021
Whilst clear at base, half way upwards I make visibility at about 100-150m with moderate to stiff winds.
Zao Now: Tuesday 12th January 2021
After a fairly sunny day yesterday (which failed to dislodge the 2' of snow still on my roof because of the temperature), we're back to fog, a recurring pattern here.
Zao Now: Monday 11th January 2021
As at report time, the sun is out at base with misty conditions further up, but, on the far-right side (summit/Utopia/Kurohime) it is snowing.
Zao Now: Sunday 10th January 2021
Not that much fresh snow this morning but, what there is, is very fluffy.
Zao Now: Saturday 9th January 2021
This morning the mountain tops are bathed in sunlight and it is a beautiful morning. Very cold though and any water spilt quickly turns to ice.
Zao Now: Friday 8th January 2021
It snowed a treat last night (with high winds). Winds have dropped today and all lifts which are supposed to be running are.
Zao Now: Thursday 7th January 2021
Joy! Sufficient snow to cover up the grooming so floating this morning.
Zao Now: Wednesday 6th January 2021
It really started to snow from mid-afternoon yesterday, even covering some tracks making the Omori amazing.
Zao Now: Tuesday 5th January 2021
Bright and crisp is how I'd call today, otherwise same ol' same ol' with the sun still an orb behind the clouds.
Zao Now: Monday 4th January 2021
Not too different to yesterday except much quieter. Very moderate snow continues to fall but it seems that we can look forward to a blue-sky day on Wednesday and then back to snowfall.
Zao Now: Sunday 3rd January 2021
Not much new snow overnight but it continues to snow and more is expected over the next few days.
