Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 877cm

Posted on Saturday 26th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


An early report today, because there's a race up on the hill and I will be sitting by a gate making sure everything is OK...


The snow tapered off yesterday soon after the report was up, so we only got about five more centimeters of snow. Not bad, of course, since we got some positive figures added to the snowpack reports.


Today it's sunny, with some clouds out over the ocean that might bring some snow showers later. Looks like a really nice day for a ski (or for sitting on race course).


All info below is from yesterday; probably a bit more snow at some of the resorts and higher temps today.
