Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 32cm
Snowfall at base this season 812cm
Posted on Friday 17th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
More snow overnight (after a starry close to the day— thought I might get away without plowing this morning).
Strong winds in the early morning meant lots of drifting snow around the house and general low visibility. The wind is not quite so strong at the moment, but it’s still blowing, so watch for potential lift closings, especially the gondolas (I guess this is the first test for Akakan’s new, red gondola cars....)
I have to file early, so the resorts probably won’t all have new reports up (grumpy comments to come on a less busy morning!)
