It's cold and clear, at least for the moment, here in Myoko.

Real snow from last night; real Myoko style, the kind that just keeps falling (what are you thinking now, people who decided to go elsewhere?).

Snow fell yesterday through the morning, but didn't amount to much. Today it's on again; we've got a few cms of fresh so far.

A little warmer today; the streets are wet rather than white, although some light snow is falling.

Snow and some pretty strong winds overnight.

First day of lifts running yesterday; first day of real snow today.

OK, here we go on the first day of lift operations in Myoko for the 2013-14 season!

A nice light covering of snow this morning; not really enough to justify firing up the snowthrower, especially as the sun's coming out do the roads should clear up by themselves.

Just as it got to be time to write up a little warm-up for the coming season, the first snowfall decided to arrive.
