Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 53cm
Snowfall at base this season 160cm
Posted on Monday 12th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It was sunny and clear today, but as of late last night we had an extra 50+cm on top of that 40cm on Saturday.
With nearly a meter fallen, we're starting in style. It did settle down with that sun, but maybe that will just give us a good solid base for further snowfall, which could happen as early as tomorrow (although there is a chance it might be rain).
I'll be on more regularly, and I'll have my snow boards (for measuring depth, not riding) out so I have an official place to poke with my ruler.
Only part of Akakura Onsen Ski Area: Yodel No. 1 Triple, Yodel No. 3 Triple, Yodel No. 4 Pair.
Looks good for the openings coming from this weekend.
