Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata

Posted on Monday 8th February 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Lots of snow; pretty good wind, too.


I doubt many people will be climbing offpiste with this much fresh snow, but it would be smart to (well, smart to not go in the first place) not go around valleys or other spots where a sluff could be really risky. It's pretty heavy snow, but feels like it could move on the right slope. Nothing like a little sluff becoming a big pile of snow with you in it at the base of a sharp valley.
