Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 443cm

Posted on Friday 5th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


An early-morning departure this morning, and only Akakura Onsen has made its report for the day, but it feels like the calm before the storm today.


Or at least we hope!


The skies are dark, light snow is falling, and it just has that feel that a good snowfall is on the way. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but I've decided to be more positive (a few days off skiing can improve your spirits!).


Again, only Akakura Onsen is new today; other temperatures should be more in line with -1° it is reporting.

-7° / 200cm
