Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 19cm
Snowfall at base this season 198cm

Posted on Thursday 19th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Really nice snowfall through the day yesterday, ending around 7pm. Light, fluffy, and helped by pretty cold temperatures through the night. That in turn gave us some nice, sparkling snow this morning; very Christmas card-y in Myoko this year.


Just a few more days until all resorts are operating, and everybody looks to have great conditions.


We’ll probably have more lifts coming on this weekend, too, as more people get into year-end vacation mode.
