Time for the official close of the 2022-2023 ski season.

As the forecast predicted, snow overnight in Myoko!

We're down to just two resorts open on weekdays (Akakan and Lotte Arai), with Seki Onsen opening again on the weekend, and (maybe) part of Akakura Onsen.

I wanted to put up a report, even if it is late/midday, just to update the resort information, since I've been out early in the morning and they don't report early (most, anyway).

After some rain and wet snow yesterday, a nice day today.

Apart from rain yesterday early, it's remained warm, mostly clear and hazy in recent days.

A lot more snow than expected yesterday; it seemed like we were just going to have some flurries, but it really started to come down hard in the late afternoon/early evening.

Gray with some snow - but not a bad day in Myoko!

The snow has stopped, with very little added overnight, and the sun is getting ready to come out today.

An interesting weather day in Myoko on this Sunday.

I'm glad I got a late start today - more on that in a moment - because the gray, slightly foggy and very windy conditions of earlier this morning have given way to clearing skies, sun, but with snow still falling.

A beautiful blue sky today after several days of snow and wind and cold.

A lot of snow by this morning, pretty strong winds and whiteout conditions at moments.... a real Myoko winter day!

One nasty day of rain, and now we're back to the white stuff.
