Good morning from Zao. It's -7C outside and we have a few more cm of snow to report from here.

Up top this morning it's a rather chilly -16C according to the resort. Get wrapped up!

There's a moderate wind but all lifts seem to be moving as planned. Just cloudy really at the moment but snow showers likely for the day today.

The forecast says clearer skies from tomorrow into next week.
