Posted on Sunday 18th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Only a few reports in from the resorts, but I wanted to get this out early. If you're thinking about going offpiste today, choose low-angle slopes in the trees! We have one person missing after going off above Akakan, and a big avalanche down the road in Arai with one person not accounted for - probe line is going on as this report goes out.
All that wind - which got much stronger after my report, and which had gone on through the night before - has deposited some serious wind loading on the hills, and people were reporting slides coming down all over the place.
On piste, you're going to have a great day. It's a little sunny, a little snowy, and the environment will be controlled. It's not all about skiing the trees, folks; cruising on the groomed can be quite invigorating.
