Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 9cm

Posted on Sunday 1st December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A little pre-season report today.


It is white out there, with a dusting of snow overnight. Let’s put 1cm on the record, just to note when we get snowfall.


Today is the official opening of the mountain, with a meeting and ceremony at Akakan. The resorts give a quick report on new developments, so I’ll report if anything unusual happens (which I doubt). A little party afterwards, too, so hopefully the roads will clear up a bit before us locals find our way home later in the afternoon.
