Posted on Friday 2nd March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
That wind keeps on blowing; once again, it’s shifted from the north to the southwest, and the snow that north wind was bringing has now ended. Not a lot overnight; my snow study boards blew over so I’m estimating on the fresh (but it’s just a bit). It did snow through the day higher up, so the areas are reporting up to 15cm of fresh on their higher runs.
Offpiste things could be a little tricky today, with that mush from yesterday gaining some fresh stuff that could slide (we might already be in the season for soft snow slides; noticed a higher danger level at the Japan Avalanche Network).
The temperatures are colder than yesterday, but I have a feeling things will warm up quickly today, and continue through the weekend.
