Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 750cm
Posted on Monday 26th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
We have some nice snow falling in Myoko this morning, and that wind is coming right out of the north. Nice and cold (but not really THAT cold) and a good start to an addition to the base (which we really need, especially for the southern and eastern resorts).
Saw some bare spots at Lotte Arai yesterday where the groomers can over a rise and got down to brown. I know it's good up top, and that's where their generous numbers come from, but most everybody's pretty low at base level.
Here at the base of Akakan it's just over one meter, which is way below where it would normally be, but better than a lot of places (so no complaining!).
I had a thought: wouldn't it be pretty hilarious to have a lot of snow fall in March, right after a whole lot of people (i.e., the international ski school staff, and some of the foreign-owned small hotels) head back down under? It's happened before. Lots of bad snow years where it got colder late in the season, so the spring/backcountry skiing was pretty good after the resorts close.
Nature is fascinating, isn't it?
