Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 58cm
Snowfall at base this season 936cm

Posted on Friday 31st January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Some nice, new, bigger numbers at some of the resorts. It’s been snowing consistently since last evening, and as early as we got up and got things nice and cleared, the machines will probably have to go out in the late day to get things back in order.


The snow is really loose, so the usual caution, especially for boarders: ride with a friend if you’re going off the course or even the ungroomed edges. Go upside down, and you’ll need help getting out. It’s pretty dense, with lots of needle-shaped crystals falling now (and which lay close together, like, well needles) but unsettled, so it’ll be tough to get out of!


Nice to have things looking and feeling very Myoko, though, with those snow walls now rising up....
