Posted on Wednesday 20th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A little bit of snow up to earlier this morning, and a checkerboard sky today—alternating patches of clouds and clear skies. I thought the snow might continue, and the skies are pretty dark over Mt. Myoko, so it might be falling up high.


I also realized that we're fast coming to the end of the ski season for several of the resorts, so time for a listing of the last days.
