Posted on Sunday 29th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow just keeps on falling, and consistently!
One day of 43cm, yesterday at 43cm, today 45cm. Means there’s lots of snow out there. Can’t remember when we’ve entered the new year with more than two meters at most resorts; I have 216cm outside my reporting spot, and that is crazy.
Lift problems have continued in the Akakura resorts, and your correspondent was stuck on one for one hour 20 minutes yesterday. It’s an old but main lift; it looked like the chairs were not detaching properly as the came down the mountain and into the lift station, so the lifties were hand-pulling them into position. It looked pretty dodgy, so I probably shouldn’t have gotten on (but that powder! One more run!). But I did. Lots of cold people getting off, but luckily getting a free cup of coffee at the lodge just off the lift. So that might be something to keep in mind, if the lift is really running poorly.
