Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 28cm
Snowfall at base this season 283cm

Posted on Wednesday 22nd January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Another nice filling of snow through the day yesterday, so that we got a total (with settling) of 45cm. Nice. Need more, but nice.


Cold, too, with a low at nearly -11° here at the base. Nice snow out there, too; not super-super light, but pretty nice.


Now a day of sun, and then warming and even rain... if we had more snow I'd worry about avalanches, new snow not liking rain very much. But there just isn't much out there, although there are the first hints of cornices forming on the ridges.
