Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 45cm
Snowfall at base this season 373cm
Posted on Saturday 29th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow keeps falling today; as I type the report it's almost gloomy (but when the fog is actually snow, there's nothing depressing about it!).
Not as much as yesterday's 80cm, but 45cm more by 9am this morning and it's adding at least a couple of centimeters per hour. Like I said, typical Myoko....
Heard of a couple of lifts closing during the day yesterday for "too much snow" - probably just the usual early-season hiccups. I give the resort a little slack on this, because those lifts are complicated big machines, but operate pretty much flawlessly (and safely).
Gotta get out skiing!
