Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 35cm
Snowfall at base this season 660cm

Posted on Thursday 2nd February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A late start today; the trusty turbo snowthrower decided to throw one of his treads last night as I dug out the roof of my house. OK, I helped by getting him partly buried when the roof released, but it's a big job ahead with some heavy machines involved to get him back into running order. As the snow keeps piling up...


A nice fall of fairly dense snow overnight has the trees covered in white.. .well, everything is white this morning (including my snowthrower). No complaints, though; should be a great day for skiing.


Take a little care if you're going off the resort, because the now could sluff pretty easily, which would not be fun if you're in the wrong place (like in a gully, or about to slide into one). Get all your gear on, go with a team and take it a little easy.
