Posted on Thursday 2nd February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Another night of winds and heavy snow.
Hard to tell how much actually fell with the big drifts, but it seems to be about 41cm when I found a sort of quiet spot.
Still windy high up, it seems, so be careful going into the backcountry (and there may be significant windloading of lee slopes, another thing to be very aware of). One more warm weather hiccup coming up, too, as the freezing line brings a chance of rain Sunday. And maybe a nice sunny day tomorrow.
