There is snow on the ground at base again this morning.

There has been some snow down to base it is nothing significant yet and just a light covering; hopefully a bit more higher up.

Fine weather on this Christmas morning - the sun is out and there's lots of blue skies.

Another thin layer of snow after a cold night. Right now it is just cloudy but limited visibility generally on the mountain.

Poor visibility this morning but that's all good because it is snowing. It might not las long today but there is more snowfall forecast for tonight and then again later in the week.

It turned into snow yesterday and this morning there was a few cm of so of fresh snow down to lower base areas.

A few cm of fresh snowfall on the ground this morning - hopefully more than that up on the top areas.

It is a colder morning and generally cloudy - some very light snow falling.

We got some breaks in the cloud and even some blue sky and sunshine yesterday for the official opening ceremony of Zao Onsen.

I have more snowfall to report. 12cm of it outside base areas.

We have snow! Over 10cm yesterday and add to that more this morning, so the total goes on my report this morning.

There has been some more light snowfall since my last report, though nothing major.

Quick update with a bit of snow to report this morning but clearer skies now and a warmer weekend lined up.

Welcome back and a very good morning to you from Zao.
