Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 43cm
Snowfall at base this season 404cm

Posted on Friday 27th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


The snow has returned, a nice fall with mild temperatures and some pretty snowflakes.


Mild enough that there’s a lot of water in the snow when shoveling the front porch etc. The snow paused a bit there a while ago, but it’s coming down steadily now—maybe two or more centimeters per hour.


We’ve had a lot of trouble with lifts on the Akakura resorts. Champion No. 3, the lift that returns people to Akakan from the Akakura Onsen side, is back in service today. The Hotel No. 5 lift though, at the top of the resort, is not running. The Kumado No. 1 quad had some serious problem yesterday afternoon, enough so that they were actually lowering guests from some lifts on ropes (although power was restored a bit later). That lift is marked as being inspected right now, but hopefully it will be back in service.
