Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata

Snowfall at base this season 324cm
Posted on Sunday 20th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow just keeps on coming, so it's powder on the slopes, with more lifts opening as well to get you up there.
Pretty consistent reporting from the resort, too, on new snow depths, with the usual one or two being very generous with their figures—but with snow like this, it doen't matter. It's all good, especially after last year!
The wind was gusting a bit just a short time ago, not enough to cause worries about some lifts slowing or stopping, but it could be pretty hard to see out there.
Vision is overrated in skiing anyway, right? Feel that snow....
