Posted on Saturday 19th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


After a little break in the snowfall yesterday — nice for settling the snow, and clearing clinging snow off power lines, equipment and such — the snow is back again to welcome the opening of most area resorts with some genuine powder.


An additional 54cm, to be exact....


It's still coming down hard, so it's going to be soft and nice out there on the hill. Which means I should be out there! But the first day of gathering lift info takes a bit of time and extra formatting. Easier from tomorrow, and all in ensuring you get the best, freshest, most precise information possible on Myoko.
