Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 25cm
Snowfall at base this season 844cm

Posted on Tuesday 24th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Seki Onsen wins the prediction award for the day. Okay, 25cm of fresh is not super heavy, but it is the best one-day since February 28. So we will take it. Pretty heavy, compressible snow, so some can get out early and enjoy (it will get bumpy pretty fast out there). Let's see how this helps some of the slopes, though! Could pack down nicely and help out with some of those bare spots.
