Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 762cm

Posted on Thursday 19th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A quick report - the snow is on again! Driveways must be cleared!


Some wind early in the morning that has continued on, although not particularly strong at base level. Could be stronger higher up on the mountain. If you're heading offpiste, be extra careful as snows accumulate on the previous snow; we did have sun all day yesterday, and while it's unlikely that a weak layer formed, it's always possible. Our theme for this week: have the right gear, the right companions, and the right experience.
