Posted on Friday 5th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
An enjoyable late start to my day today, which means I can get new information from all the resorts (if they haven't reported by 9, they aren't really using their websites well!).
Anther sunny day. I'm glad people can actually see the beauty of Mt. Myoko and the surrounding peaks, because in a normal year many people never see the mountains during their stay here because of constant snow. The small bit of extra snow yesterday did help on the slopes, but do be careful on the cat tracks; there was gray here and there yesterday which in fact is the road underneath starting to show through.
I know the resorts are doing all they can to cover over the thin spots and dangerous areas, but there is a limit, given the supply of snow. Now just a wait for a few days until the next cycle comes through, and hoping that it turns out bigger than predicted (when the opposite has been the case this year).
