It's colder this morning with temps down below freezing. No snowfall to report and just at the moment cloudy conditions above Zao but I can see the top of the resort from base here. A light breeze.

Icy and hard conditions on the slopes this morning though if the forecast sun appears later perhaps it will warm up a bit. There's chance of a bit of snow overnight into tomorroe actually. Would be nice!
