Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this season 201cm
Posted on Friday 10th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
In the multi-course banquet that is the ski season, I hope that we can look at today as an appetizer before the main course (and the fitful snow conditions up today was just the table getting set).
Just to torture the metaphor some more, it's a light opening course; it would be great to see a 50-70cm day to really get things set up, and start pushing down all the saplings and vines so we could think about backcountry, but it was only a fall of under 20cm up to the morning today.
It is still snowing in fits and starts, so maybe we will see more accumulation through the day (before, it seems, the sun comes out on Saturday, and we hope Saturday only).
Light but tasty, and leaving you with space for more.
