Posted on Tuesday 13th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Another day of winds: once again we have winds coming from the northern part of the Korean peninsula coming strong across the sea then turning left to flow along the coast, with cold winds also coming from Siberia, but seemingly blocked by those western winds.
Pretty strong winds have been forecasted, so be ready for lift closures again. It’s mild enough that we might have some rain again before things turn to snow, although it doesn’t look like anything too heavy.
Mild temperatures ahead. too.... it’s a strange year for the snow.
