Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 370cm

Posted on Tuesday 17th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Colder temperatures, some snow, and a hint of sun and blue skies in Myoko this morning.


Once again we didn't get a massive snowfall (like we need, really), but about 15cm of nice, light fresh. It's been pretty humid, too, and everything is frosted: tree branches, power lines, car windows and doors. Lot of people out scraping windshields this morning and trying to crack open icy car doors. Other than that, a pretty nice day to be out on the hill. Probably a bit nicer snow than the hard-packed surfaces yesterday.


One thing to add is a shake of the finger at the resorts who can't get an update ready by 8am.
