Posted on Tuesday 27th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Wind and snow overnight, so lots of drifting; dense, wind-affected snow; mini tornadoes coming off my neighbor's roof. Nice accumulation, though, and I promise my testing area is not in a drift-affected spot.
One thing for backcountry people: most of our snow-related accidents have been after strong winds have come through. That, plus an ice layer underneath (and I was out there yesterday, bouncing off hard ice topped with 15cm or so of heavy new snow) could spell trouble until it gets to settle a little. Pick some safe lines, wait a bit, etc.
