Posted at 1:20pm on Monday 24th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow is really falling today; a pretty solid wet base from the rain and wet snow yesterday slowly turned to some really nice powder overnight, and it's still falling pretty heavily at midday. The sloppy base was enough to freeze up my snow measurement boards, so no unofficial/actual measurement from the base level today (I figured about 50cm, close to Akakan's 40cm)
The local talk was that things would go sunny over the next few days (and, as I've often said, bluebird doesn't really mena great skiing, does it? GIve us the heavy falls and powder), but it looks like we'll have a few more days of snow before it gets sunny toward the weekend, and perhaps also quiet a bit warmer on Saturday. Still early season, though; still lots of time to get that snow falling again.
