Posted on Thursday 21st February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The gloom is gone today in Myoko; we even have a little bit of blue sky and occasional sunshine to brighten things up.
A tiny bit of fresh snow on top of the wet and crunchy stuff below. It's still not great outside the ski area, but there are dark clouds coming in from the north that look like they might bring in some fresh white stuff. The winds offshore have definitely moved from yesterdays west/southwest to the north, which is a good sign. Temperatures are also down today, another good indicator of things other than rain and fog.
It's been pretty quiet and stable this season, though. No upheavals at the resorts, no major electrical failures or riots or anything really to report. Boring, I know. Even the mighty snowthrower, a constant companion in this report, has been a very good worker this year. No belts thrown to delay putting out the Now! page....
