Posted on Saturday 30th April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It looks like it wants to be sunny today...but what is it that I see on the mountain above the ski area level? Could that be fresh snow on the mountain? (yes, it is). Nothing here at base level, so as much as I would lie to add a few cm to the seasonal total, especially at the end of April, I'm not going to.
Could be pretty interesting for people heading up into the backcountry, and not in a fun way. A lot of fresh snow this time of year is pretty sticky, or could easily release as a slow loose snow avalanche as any skier passes down the slope. Mostly not so dangerous, except if you're in the wrong place (like in a tight valley or right at the run-out zone). Keep an eye on the hill out there!
But it's also sunny up high, so it could be great to be out there.
