Posted on Friday 10th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
I got called out by some visitors yesterday for missing a few days (thanks for reading, boys!), and, as promised, I got out snowthrowing at 5 am. OK, 5:30, to be completely honest, but your reporter is out there in the snow, gathering data, making life possible for the people of our fair city....
OK, let's talk snow. A pretty good fall overnight, but once again it's hard to tell total fall due to the pretty strong winds out there. The really strong winds have tapered off a bit, but we're still seeing some big gusts and blowing snow. There's a good chance of some lift closure, although nothing has been posted except for the top No. 3 lift at Suginohara, which will open at 10:30.
Extra care should be taken offpiste, though, with the wind very likely depositing a lot of snow on lee slopes. Slide danger is definitely higher, and even sluffs shouldn't be ignored (loose sluffs of lots of snow in the wrong place can be a real problem...).There's plenty of powder out there to enjoy, so choose a safe line, have fun and be safe.
