It's a mixed day in Myoko--the sun keeps poking out between patches of light snow. Can't decide what it wants to do.


A little fresh snow overnight, so the trees were a nice white all the way up this morning. it's been pretty heavy fresh, though; yesterday the snow was deep, but steeps were needed to really enjoy it. Lots of downhill trail breaking on what usually is a mild slide down through the trees off from the ski areas. Break trail up; break trail down. The joy of (real) backcountry.
