Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 50cm
Snowfall at base this season 407cm
Posted on Saturday 26th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A lot of new snow overnight, getting things ready for the opening of all the areas today.
Most lifts are running, so I will move that information down the page as soon as we do see things in full mode. There was a bit of ice at the base of the pack, and on the runs, yesterday, but hopefully that is now down in the pack at the resorts, and disappearing in the natural snow.
And it's turning into a beautiful day, for those who like the bluebird rather than the low visibility and high rewards of storm skiing (you know where my preferences lie).
Alright, it is nice to see where you going, and the scenery is a lot nicer when you can actually take it in. The Siberian winds are still blowing in off the coast, so there is the chance that we might have more snow during the day. Something for everyone....
