Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 26cm
Snowfall at base this season 1252cm

Posted on Saturday 9th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


The snow has stopped, for the moment at least. A pretty dark sky out there, though, reminds us that possibly heavy snow is forecast for tonight. Snow pretty much throughout the day yesterday, and it was nice, snowflakey crystals that make for nice skiing.


And it's a three-day weekend, so there are a few more cars in the parking lots, and some short lines for gondolas and main lifts (nothing like the days of the Japan ski boom, for those who can remember amusement park-like waits just to get on lifts....)
