Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 35cm
Snowfall at base this season 1663cm

Posted on Tuesday 2nd April 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


It's been a bit of April Fool weather from yesterday into today: 35 cm of fresh? Not what you'd expect, but it looks like the snow could actually start up again after a sunny start to the morning. The white is nice, after the increasing gray and brown of melting snow walls. The new snow also means that Akakan is back up to 3 meters of snowpack; only two lifts are running, but you can ski all the way down to the base. You should be out skiing today! The season is definitely not over yet....
