Posted on Friday 2nd February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Well, we got some snow overnight; not a huge amount, but with plenty of wind to give us a lot of drifts and blowing snow in the evening. It's pretty small, dense snow, too; no fluffy white smoke today.
Some ice down there from the rain that preceded the snow, so car windows and doors were pretty well covered this morning. Lots of icicles hanging around, too.
There was some talk that the No. 5 chair at Akakan, the top lift wasn't running, but it seems to be going now.
Nothing much else exciting, to be honest.
It's cold enough today, which is better than the usual cycle of snow and then sun/warm. Looks like it will stay colder—and could that be a few continuous days of snow from the 5th or so? Better not jinx it by saying more (yes, I am getting superstitious about this, since the snow walls are only about a meter tall, where we should be astounding the tourists with huge walls of snow everywhere).
