Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 142cm

Posted on Wednesday 13th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A bit more snow through the day yesterday and into today; a nice base is building up there for the increased openings from Friday.


Interested to see the first snow reports up from Arai, who are posting 209cm at one of the lift stations. Possible, but... Maybe we have a new contender with Seki for the most enthusiastic reporting. And, after a certain point, when we know there’s good, solid coverage, we’re going to be more interested in that daily fall anyway, right?
