Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 287cm

Posted on Friday 6th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Colder temperatures yesterday and overnight; the stars were out early in the evening (didn't have to plow this morning so I don't know what was happening early on), but the snow is back on now, with a little bit of extra accumulated. Nice, as several of the resorts show a reduction in snowpack (saw it here at our little study area, too).


Good snow conditions onpiste, though!


Still pretty bushy in the backcountry, and most of the streams that need to be crossed aren't filled in yet. I hope we get a lot more in the coming days, as it looks like there will be some unseasonably (like once in 50 years, the TV reports) warm wave coming in around the 10th or so....
