Finally: a Myoko-style snowfall, with reduced visibility, and covered-up car windows.

It's not much yet, really, by local standards, but man it looks good.

I'm not even going to write that much; I wanted to get the report out, so you (and maybe me) can get out into that good soft snow!

More snow is forecast for the coming days, even perhaps some heavy stuff over the weekend, so things are looking better. Doesn't have to be a record snow year to have some good skiing (just nice to not be bouncing off grass and rocks). Probably 15cm now, and counting.
