Posted on Sunday 30th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow never completely stopped yesterday, with very very very light snow continuing to fall during the day. Just enough to soften up footsteps and keep things nice and white.
It started up again in earnest last night, so we have about 30cm on the ground so far (when I listen to radio reports from around the world, I realize how bizarre that really is; oh, the usual foot of snow in Myoko means panic and traffic closures is so many other places). A little bit of north wind with this snow, too; there's a little cornice hanging off the snow walls that now mark the entry to my house. We're pretty open to the north, though, so I don't think there will be enough wind to close lifts. Could be a little brisk on some of the lifts that likewise are open to the north, such as at Akakura Onsen. Hey, but you really feel alive when you get off a lift like that, right?
Akakura Kanko:
360cm, -6°
Akakura Onsen:
385cm, -5°
Looks like the six lifts open are now the "main" here, so this will be my last comment unless things change
