Posted on Friday 16th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Heavy rain woke me up early this morning; luckily that stopped and we’re almost getting some sun now, but the damage is done.
Icy conditions, loss of snow, really weird conditions (be careful when going off-piste, partly because of all the small trees you’ll be hitting, partly because there could be some potentially dangerous conditions).
Even snowshoeing yesterday was a lot of weaving through small trees and brush. Time for a good snow dance!
