Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 64cm
Snowfall at base this season 806cm

Posted on Wednesday 15th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Lots of snow, and lots of wind overnight.


The entry to my house was filled with snow that blew through a tiny crack; the cars each had a big wave of snow off to the lee side....


It should be great on the slopes today (if you like deep, light snow); the backcountry might be, well, not so safe after all that wind.


Expect at least a lot of sluffing on steep slopes, something that could take you into some bad terrain (think deep valleys) if you're not careful. Give it some time; let the snow settle!
