We obtained near-infrared spectroscopy of the high mass young stellar object W 33A between 1.9-2.5 µm in search of absorption features of circumstellar ices. The 2.27 µ mb and of CH3OH is positively identified in the spectrum, its intensity being fully consistent with the column density derived earlier from the methanol bands at 3.54 and 3.91 µm. The 2.21 µ mb and of solid NH3, on the other hand, was not detected. This shows that the quantity of solid NH3 towards W 33A is at least 3 times lower than earlier estimates based on the NH3 umbrella mode at 9 µm.
