Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1088cm
Posted on Wednesday 1st April 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It’s quiet today after a really blustery Tuesday. Crazy strong winds and lashes of rain, then some deep blue skies and sun, and then more rain and wind. I heard that the wind was so strong that it blew over several vendor’s carts at Takada Park in nearby Joetsu City. They were there awaiting the blooming of the thousands of cherry trees on this old castle ground. Luckily the trees weren’t yet in bloom, or that wind would have ended the floral fun pretty quickly....
Akakan continues to have most of its lifts going; I’m amazed that they still have the base-level Hotel No. 1 still going; we could almost see the snow melting in that wind yesterday.
Lotte Arai, too, has all its lifts running, although some areas may close as the risk of wet snow avalanches continues.
