Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 63cm
Snowfall at base this season 352cm

Posted on Friday 30th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Winter is really here in Myoko today.


Stuck the ruler in our prime spot (away from the trees, not too much wind effect) and we got a good average of 63cm.


Sixty-three; nice.


That's about all I need say today, I think. Not all the areas reported early today, probably because they're fighting with snow.

150cm, -5°


Akakura Onsen:

160cm, -4°


Ikenotaira Onsen:
