Great news this morning.

Heavy snowfall to report from Zao this morning with a good 30cm on the ground.

There's talk of part of the resort opening - but as I write this I do not have any confirmed information to report.

The snow clouds are forecast to be moving on with the chance of sun tomorrow... sounds like a perfect time to have that first day of the season? I'll keep my eye on official info and let you know...

Official snow depths:
Summit area: 65cm
Utopia area: 40cm
