Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 0cm Snowfall at base this season 1067cm Posted on Tuesday 3rd March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Rain and a mite grim today, but heavy snow is forecast for tomorrow. Even Tokyo might get get some snow as well. So some coffee, a nice fire and some indoor activities today, winter may come back tomorrow. A lot of new snow on this settled snow could be a bit dangerous in the backcountry, too, as well as on some slopes in the resorts, with the risk of cracking and gliding slopes still there. I have to make a correction, too: I read Madarao's report referring to a “victim,” when in fact four people were caught in the on-slope avalanche there over the weekend. Lotte Arai is clearly aware of this, and is closing many of its freeride zones (hard to tell which from the website, so be prepared). --- Akakura Kanko: 200cm, 4° All lifts back in operation Akakura Onsen: 285cm, 3° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, 3° Myoko Suginohara: 105cm top, 65cm base; 0° Kyukamura RunRun: 200cm, 4° Seki Onsen: 430cm, 2° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 80cm, 4° Madarao Mountain Resort: 150cm, 3° Upper lifts closed Lotte Arai Resort: 370cm, 7° Some/most freeride areas closed due to increased avalanche danger Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 70cm top, 30cm base; 5° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Tuesday 3rd March 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1067cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 48 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 202cm reported on 12 days March 2026 snowfall 0cm reported on 0 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 0cm Snowfall at base this season 1067cm Posted on Monday 2nd March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Avalanches are the big news to start the week; not big, roaring ones but slow cracking and creeping ones that take all the snow out to the ground (I remember these used to be called climax avalanches, but now are referred to as wet slabs, glide avalanches or persistent deep slabs). This has been an issue for much of the season, but now with warming weather (and rain), we’re seeing Lotte Arai closing some runs and preparing for the potential of slides. The top run at Akakura Onsen had a crack and glide that released down onto the cat track last month (the lower section, no longer a ski run, almost always cracks and collapses). On the 28th, a pretty big one occurred on the Powder Line course at the top of Madarao, which actually resulted in an injury. According to the resort’s report, it was up to 185 meters wide, and had a length of 600 meters. It’s unusual that there were no warning signs; normally the slope literally cracks and begins to slide slowly before releasing at some point. So one more unusual event in a really unusual year for the snow. Take a look a those snowpack figures, too; lots of resorts are under a meter now. The forecast is for some rain and snow in the coming days, but I wonder how much? -- Akakura Kanko: 210cm, 0° Champion No. 3 lift remains closed today; scheduled to run tomorrow Akakura Onsen: 300cm, -1° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, 1° Myoko Suginohara: 110cm top, 70cm base; -2° (no new report) Kyukamura RunRun: 240cm, 4° (no new report) Seki Onsen: 440cm, 1° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 85cm, 2° Madarao Mountain Resort: 150cm, 1° Upper lifts closed after 2/28 avalanche Lotte Arai Resort: 381cm, 6° Some areas may close; mechanical trouble has closed Zendana lift Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 70cm top, 30cm base; 1° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Monday 2nd March 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1067cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 48 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 202cm reported on 12 days March 2026 snowfall 0cm reported on 0 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Happy March, and spring is here today. Another day of sun following fog and rain; a good day to go out and explore the woods (which I am about to do). Nice to see lots of Japanese faces on the hill as well; no offense to our international guests, but you do want to see the locals coming to slide as well. Next up: will we actually get much more snow in this last month of the season? There’s not much on the forecast, but maybe next week? I would like to get a little more use out of that snowthrower (the second-most-expensive vehicle I own). The Champion No. 3 lift, the link from Akakura Onsen to Akakan, apparently broke down yesterday, with guests being lowered on harnesses, and is not running today. Looks like people will have to make the 10-minute or so walk down the hill to return to the Akakan side (or grab one of the free resort shuttles). -- Akakura Kanko: 220cm, -2° Champion No. 3 not running Akakura Onsen: 305cm, 0° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, 1° Myoko Suginohara: 110cm top, 70cm base; -2° Kyukamura RunRun: 240cm, 4° Seki Onsen: 450cm, -2° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 95cm, 2° (yesterday’s report) Madarao Mountain Resort: 150cm, -1° Lotte Arai Resort: 381cm, 6° Some areas closed after rain; Freeride World Tour on Mamushi Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 100cm top, 40cm base; 1° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Sunday 1st March 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1067cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 48 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 202cm reported on 12 days March 2026 snowfall 0cm reported on 0 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . We got some interesting fog during a day of pure blue skies yesterday; suddenly things got soupy in the afternoon, then the fog/clouds would blow off again. It’s kind of a bright gray day today, with the sun not out exactly, but with some blue sky showing in patches above the mountains. It’s kind of shocking how much snow we’ve lost, though. The north side of my driveway where the sun hits is bare of snow and ice, and even a bit of the grass is showing. It remains a very strange snow year. I’m proud to say, when people ask, that I have no idea what things are going to do. I got a call from the head of the local fire department, who wanted to get a message out to the international community, and while it’s not directly related to snow, it is with the cold weather of snow season (and we have a pretty extensive audience here at SnowJapan for whom this has meaning). Apparently, a recent fire in our neighborhood was caused by someone putting gasoline into one of the ubiquitous kerosene stoves we use for heat here. The result was not good, and it’s not the first time this has happened. An acquaintance lost his cabin a few years ago when he lent it out to a friend who put gasoline into the stove, fired it up, and barely got out alive. So, a public service announcement: don’t put gasoline into a kerosene stove. Don’t bring gasoline indoors anyway... -- Akakura Kanko: 220cm, 5° Akakura Onsen: 325cm, 3° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, 4° Myoko Suginohara: 110cm top, 80cm base; 3° Kyukamura RunRun: 240cm, 4° (yesterday’s report) Seki Onsen: 470cm, 5° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 105, 4° Madarao Mountain Resort: 170cm, 5° Lotte Arai Resort: 399cm, 7° Some areas closed due to increased avalanche risk; hosting Freeride World Tour from today Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 180cm top, 80cm base; 10° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Friday 27th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1067cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 48 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 202cm reported on 12 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . It was raining sometime in the middle of the night, causing me to wake for a moment and think, “Blech.” It’s snowing now, but I’m not sure if it’s so much less blech-y. The snow, which was pretty warm and soft yesterday, is now going to be hard an crunchy. Maybe not so much for the resorts, depending on their grooming regimen, but anywhere out there in the natural snow (this comes from snowshoeing on some pretty fun, soft stuff yesterday). Backcountry is going to be a pretty good trial, so slide slow if you’re going out there. -- Akakura Kanko: 280cm, -1° Akakura Onsen: 345cm, -1° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, -1° Myoko Suginohara: 150cm top, 110cm base; -5° Kyukamura RunRun: 300cm, 3° Seki Onsen: 590cm, -5° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 148cm, 0° Madarao Mountain Resort: 210cm, -2° Lotte Arai Resort: 448cm, 4° Some closures after an avalanche Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 210cm top, 110cm base; 2° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Monday 16th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1036cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 46 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 171cm reported on 10 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Waiting for the snow; a little bit started to fall in the early morning, it’s bright with a bit of sun now but it looks like we’ll be getting snow through the day today at least. I took a family drive along the coast to Toyama yesterday (big box store and year-end fun shopping) and it was really raining and blowing along the coast. I had hoped that storm was bringing snow to the high country, but things were actually calm and dry on the return. It was kind of fun to see the power out over the ocean, though, that brings the big snows to this part of the world. We do need it. There are some pretty thin spots out there where lots of people are sliding.

Sunny and clear again; getting ready for more snow soon (watching those snowpack numbers going down again, at least for our more honest/reliably reporting resorts). OK, it is nice to see the mountains, and nice not to be shivering on the lifts. I’ll bring praise to the joy of skiing in howling winds and deep snow later.

We don’t want too many of these nice days, of course, because we still need more snow on the ground. A good start, but just the beginning. Got out for snowshoeing yesterday, which was great on the trail, but tough to get out into the woods. There is so much brush that you really can’t move much without winding around through the trees and pushing small trees out of the way. Pretty tired legs, too, so this is a lazy Sunday report. Looks like an even warmer day tomorrow, then maybe some ongoing snow after that?

The first real snow of the year; that November snow never really counts, because it comes down heavy and wet and pretty deep but it always melts away (we still add it to the annual total, of course). Today it's 20cm and counting, and it's supposed to stay colds and keep on falling. The first trucks of the season not able to get up the slope in front of our reporting center. That's a sure sign of real snow. One of our dear readers wrote that, if I mention a young dog getting her first experience in snow, photos are required. I only have a video, and the second shot (joyful dog in air) is super blurry. But I think you get the message that snow joy is not just for humans. Good job Sunny....
