Posted on Monday 2nd January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
When we get 40cm or more overnight, I think it's a good, solid Myoko snow. Not the crazy stuff we can get, of course, but a good fall, the kind that builds up the snowpack, perfect for the people streaming by my place this morning on the way to the runs.
It's continuing to snow, but lightly at the moment, with fog starting to build up as well. Looks increasingly like its going to continue for several days now (yea!) so we can start to see the backcountry brush get a little more covered up. It's still pretty jungle-y, but looking better.
Once again, be care of Covid, because it's still out there and it's a pain. I think I got it helping out with our fireworks event on Dec. 24 (lots of people, lots of masks off to enjoy the local saké); it wasn't terrible, but I did worry that I spread it to others.
