Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 34cm
Snowfall at base this season 571cm

Posted on Sunday 3rd January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Still a bit of snow falling, nice cold temperatures. I wish there weren't so much plowing to do, and more skiing (we work so you don't have to).


Happy to see that in fact the parking lots were pretty full yesterday, and that there was a big line for the Suginohara gondola (not happy for you guys who had to wait, but that there was some early-morning passion for getting up on the hill).


More snow to come....
