Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 7cm
Snowfall at base this season 1041cm

Posted on Friday 3rd February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


It is still snowing out there in Myoko today.


Sun is still in the forecast for later, but right now there's a real nice snowfall happening (we prefer gray and white to sun anyway: the snow stays a lot nicer without the baking of the sun. Spring not included). Not a great accumulation yet, but it's actually picking up the pace at base level right now. Just that more fun when the sun does come out.


Wind was a factor in the backcountry yesterday, with slabs seen in a lot of places. There was some pretty good wind through the night, too, so this is another day to be careful about where you are going.


Not all the resorts have reported in yet this morning, but those that have are almost unchanged, just maybe a little warmer.
