OK, I know there are those who will doubt the total for today, after the big numbers yesterday. I would invite them to join me for the currently endless job of clearing two locations. But this is Myoko! At least, the Myoko we used to know.
I was reminded of this last night when we had no gas service in the house. So it was time to look at old photos and try to remember where the meter and valve were located, dig down about two meters, and reset the regulator thing.... And then I remembered that 10 years ago I always put a protective cover over it, because the pressure of the snow will cause the meter to shut off. So it's off to the hardware store this morning to get some plastic sheets, the kind we use to cover windows and other things that get buried way down in there.
So, sorry we're late today; I have a feeling some of the lifts are as well (many were not going until after 10am yesterday).
Oh, and don't even try to go backcountry. Be careful even heading off course into deep untracked snow. It's light in a sense (like, nice and fluffy in the very top of the pack), but it's deep and dense and almost impossible to get out of (it took 20 minutes on snowshoes to get to my snow measuring area!).
Ah, we work hard for our readers!
Have fun, though; this is really insane snow and it's just fun to be out in all that white stuff.
