New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1088cm
Posted on Wednesday 25th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Gray today, with a pretty steady southwest wind taking out more snow (the wind really does it...). Looks like rain later this afternoon and maybe all the way until Friday. Maybe the rain will get the tree buds starting to open—as long as it’s spring we might as well see the change of seasons! And that is part of the fun of mountain life here. We do get a pretty good amount of rain in the summer, so you have to embrace it.
Not so sure on the kosa the dust masses starting in China, Mongolia and Kazakstan and traveling all the way here. It’s a fine dust that comes from desert regions in these countries, including the dried-up Aral Sea, which doesn’t sound good, but also which contains a lot of nasty pollutants (sulfur, heavy metals, soot, and more).
All I know here is that, looking toward Mt. Myoko and the sun around 3pm yesterday, the mountains were obscured and the whole sky was white. Maybe the rain will help wash out the sky for us.
