Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 33cm
Snowfall at base this season 893cm

Posted on Sunday 29th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Yesterday it was miserable, foggy weather.


Today winter is back, with over 30cm of fresh snow and colder temperatures. Pretty heavy snow, but that's OK. Might stay on the slopes a little longer with that weight and pack-ability.


I was kidding about two of you reading (although I doubt anybody would have wanted to be out on the slopes yesterday); I know there are lots of you reading every day, and we appreciate it. But this is a weird, weird year. Low snow, and I know everybody has had to hunker down or go home.
