Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 847cm
Posted on Wednesday 29th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow has started to fall, coming down pretty heavy at times then slowing a bit. All the TV news is going crazy about a meter or more falling on the Japan Sea side (including Myoko, of course), and let’s hope they’re right!
There’s a pretty hard layer of snow under the new snow, which will be a concern for those going into the backcountry, especially the big/steep stuff around the caldera. But a nice refill of fresh powder will be great for everyone all over the hill. Except maybe the kids in the big school groups now all over the Akakura resorts, who were having an interesting first time on groomed snow yesterday.
Add some boot-high powder, and things get much more fun....
