Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 1081cm
Posted on Tuesday 10th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
We are getting some snow this morning, not a lot and it’s coming down as pretty fine crystals. So I don’t expect that we’ll have much to add to the snowpack (which is getting pretty thin already; on a hike in the woods the tree wells are not very threatening, with maybe 30cm or so of snow around the trunks, and a lot of grass bamboo showing on south-facing slopes). I heard that there is some concern if late-season cross-country race will be able to be held or not.
Still, the snow is good at the resorts, with the groomers working hard to keep the snowpack nice and firm and smooth. We are getting close to the end of the season, though, so I’ll try and get some closing information up here shortly.
I'm adding a photo of yesterday's Yama no Kami (Mountain God) event; nice turnout with exactly 100 wooden masu cups being distributed.
