Posted on Saturday 25th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It's kind of a bright, almost sunny day in Myoko today.
Once again, a light application of snow overnight - just at 5cm of little soft hail pellets, not really great stuff - and a sunny day to follow. The heating bills haven't changed that much, but the diesel cost for running the snow clearing equipment is the lowest I've ever had. Carbon reduction, good; snow condition, bad.
I wish we had something interesting in the weather ahead. Well, it will be interesting, or at least unusual, with the freezing level going up and down like crazy, maybe some snow ahead and almost surely some more rain. I'm thinking about dragging the canoe out of my storage area (it's not blocked in by much snow!) and head out to Lake Nojiri... backcountry where you can get some linked turns in! It's still bush and grape vines out there beyond the ski areas.
