Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 7cm Snowfall at base this season 1488cm Posted on Thursday 6th March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Pretty wild weather again today, colder with snow and some pretty strong winds from the north which should continue into tomorrow. I’m not sure when yesterday’s rain turned into snow; I could hear the tripping eves during the night, then the sounds of the wind coming around the house. There’s less than 10cm so far, but we could get some addition to the snowpack (cleanup of the dirty snowbanks?) in the coming days. Most lifts seem to be running OK, but with these winds with strong gusts we could see some closures during the day. Seki Onsen, in fact, decided to close today, although it will reopen tomorrow.
