Posted on Tuesday 31st March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Your reporter is back out on the golf course, or should I say the cross-country ski course for the second day of racing, for levels from primary school to adult men.
It's raining pretty steadily, which will make for a pretty miserable day out there (bad enough for us sitting under tents; I feel for the kids running around out there).
I was pleased to see that most of the lifts at Akakan were running yesterday, and their website shows this today (Hotel No. 5 and Champion No. 3 are not running).
We’re just going to make it on snow for the race today, with this rain, and possibly strong winds, certainly going to melt more of what is just barely covering the ground. Bare spots are also showing on the runs, so be careful out there! If you are tough enough to take on the rain....
