Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 7cm
Snowfall at base this season 1043cm

Posted on Tuesday 17th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


It’s colder today, with a bit of fresh snow out there.


It snowed for much of the day, although a lot of it early in the day was tiny ice particles that didn’t result in much new snow (and had a really sandy feel underfoot). Nicer snow in the evening, though, including some perfect star-like crystals (very nice looking). I thought it might result in a bigger accumulation than we actually got.


The clouds are dissipating over Mt. Myoko right now, with some blue skies showing through. Still cloudy to the east, though, so the sun isn’t out yet.


The forecast is for sunny, but with lower temperatures than we have had. Meaning a pretty nice day out on the slopes!
