Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 1043cm

Posted on Friday 22nd March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


What a nice day! Nice and cold overnight, just a little additional snow (I think more than 3cm fell, but that's what I got in the testing area), and mostly sunny skies.


Could be one of the nicest days of the season on the slopes, or out in the backcountry (and didn't I write that, yes, you can get powder in March?).


We are coming to the end of the season, though, with a few of the resorts closing after this weekend, and most closing at the end of the month. Now get out there and enjoy!
