Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 1113cm
Posted on Sunday 6th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Your reporter is out of town on this, the last day for all the resorts except Akakan and Seki Onsen, but we've got the official word: 10cm of fresh snow. What a year...
I have to say, too, it rained Friday but the snow was really fun. Not too sherbet-y, and plenty glide-y. Fun is what you make it, right, and dressed unfashionably but appropriately, it's all good.
The town is no longer giving snow reports - unfortunately the webcams don't seem to be updating now either. From now until the last lifts run, we'll update this Myoko Now page from time to time with any news.
Resorts remaining open from Monday 7th April
Akakura Kanko:
Myoko Kogen Sky Cable gondola and hotel No. 3 lift will stay open until May 6, or whenever the snow runs out.
Seki Onsen:
Planning to stay open until May 6th.
All other resorts closed from Monday 7th April.
