Snow is falling, continuing the unpredictable fun of March in Myoko.
It's good, wet snow, but we are really happy to see water in this form. If it's going to be spring, I say, let it be sunny and warm so we can enjoy a different style of skiing - like hiking out in the woods, skiing in shorts - you know what I mean.
Lots of people out on the hill this morning, enjoying the last few days of the main season
