Posted on Saturday 8th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Cold overnight here—it got down to nearly -9° here at the base, and was still -6° at 7am. The wind has died down, which is nice. Gives us time to clear out the drifts in places where the wind comes in from the north (like my house, which I nominate for worst designed entry in the greater Myoko area).
It’s overcast with a very high cloud cover that is giving us good visibility, with the sun just trying to come out at times.
I hear that some lifts were running intermittently yesterday afternoon when the winds were especially strong. While I know a lot of people don’t want a lot of major development here that would ruin the Myoko feeling, I do wish we could get some of the operating companies to put some money into aging lifts (and a wise editor of mine noted that this isn’t just a Myoko phenomenon, since there are a lot of 40-year-old lifts from the bubble days still churning along, if not always continuously). When the wind is too high, there’s nothing you can do about it, but too many lifts run a bit too erratically....
