The ski area tried to remain open as long as possible, but nature won out in the end with the ski area announcing the end of the ski season yesterday.

As the weekend approaches the ski area remains part open. At the moment temperatures are keeping fairly low.

The sun is out this morning. There's thin cloud around but it's a nice and bright morning.

Very good news. Snow continued yesterday, heavy at times, with around 12cm by 4pm.

Last night we had sleet/snow. It has been snowing lightly early morning, but there isn't much accumulation.

Yesterday around 4pm it started to snow quite heavily and this morning as a result there's a little over 8cm of new snow down at base.

We had strong winds and a blizzard-like strong winds last night. Really strong and snow falling at the same time.

It's overcast this morning with fog around upper areas. There was a bit of snow last night though no new overnight.

A windy and snowy start to the day early on. The wind has created huge snow drifts in places.

It's a foggy morning and not much of the lower runs even can be seen.

White-out early on this morning. Not too much accumulation, but the winds are strong and blowing the little bit of snow around.

There are cloudy skies and fog at Zao this morning, but just look at the photos below, taken yesterday. Nice surprise!

Some fast moving cloud at the moment and some blue sky too and good visibility. It should be a good morning.

Snow started falling last night and there's another layer this morning.
