Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1355cm
Posted on Saturday 24th April 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
As I noted late yesterday (realizing some people might be planning ahead for the weekend), yes, you can still ski in Myoko!
Akakan would normally be open right into Golden Week, but the snow really disappeared fast this year. Seki Onsen usually stays open late, too, but they announced that they have closed. Those winds really eat up the snow fast, and once the earth is exposed, well, things get warm fast. The fiddlehead ferns are even getting ready to roll up out of the ground right at the base level.
So you can still get yourself to Lotte Arai, the last place open this season. They're claiming a lot of snow, and the locals (and local ski schools, too) have reported really good conditions, so we'll stop being skeptical. Today's the day, too; tomorrow is rain, but next week things should get nice again.
