It has been a beautiful day in Myoko; clear blue skies, sparkling white mountains, and just a few wispy clouds to add a little perspective. I've often said in these reports that I prefer a day when the snow is really coming down, but a day like today is one to jsut go out and savor (which makes it completely painful to be desk-bound today.....).

Take a little care in the backcountry; a senior member of the community here got a good scare (and a bit of a fast journey down the slope) in a slide earlier in the week, and the warming snow on top of a really hard old layer could mean some sliding. Hopefully things will consolidate with time, but it looks like more snow is coming.
