Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 54cm
Snowfall at base this season 1053cm
Posted on Tuesday 30th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Real Myoko snow! More than 50cm on the ground this morning, and the snow just keeps on falling, with a few more centimeters arriving every hour. It’s hard work for the locals (hello), especially when the plows decide not to arrive until after 6 am, so roads were a bit crowded up to the time the resorts opened, but all is good now.
With this much light, fresh snow, people in the backcountry should be careful about sluffing and even falling - a few reports of people crashing upside-down and not being able to get out without aid.
A reliable friend should be in your toolkit today (of course with avalanche beacon, shovel, probe, whenever you head off the groomed courses).
