Independent snow and weather reporting from the Madarao region of Nagano New snowfall at base 18cm Snowfall at base this season 720cm Weather overview Light snow Wind Light Temperature - Visibility Limited Posted on Friday 10th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here . It is another snowy morning in Madarao with a nice new fresh layer of snow on the ground. The resort is reporting 20cm of fresh and I am measuring just less than that, but snow continues to fall and it should be increasing through the day today. It was actually snowing more earlier on, just lightly for the moment. The weekend is approaching of course and so many people will be making their way here. We can expect further snow but it probably won't be heavy and there might even be some changes of clearings at times. It should remain cold though so come prepared for mid-winter conditions. And come expecting some nice snow conditions!

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 27cm Snowfall at base this season 1117cm Posted on Friday 10th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . I got called out by some visitors yesterday for missing a few days (thanks for reading, boys!), and, as promised, I got out snowthrowing at 5 am. OK, 5:30, to be completely honest, but your reporter is out there in the snow, gathering data, making life possible for the people of our fair city.... OK, let's talk snow. A pretty good fall overnight, but once again it's hard to tell total fall due to the pretty strong winds out there. The really strong winds have tapered off a bit, but we're still seeing some big gusts and blowing snow. There's a good chance of some lift closure, although nothing has been posted except for the top No. 3 lift at Suginohara, which will open at 10:30. Extra care should be taken offpiste, though, with the wind very likely depositing a lot of snow on lee slopes. Slide danger is definitely higher, and even sluffs shouldn't be ignored (loose sluffs of lots of snow in the wrong place can be a real problem...).There's plenty of powder out there to enjoy, so choose a safe line, have fun and be safe.
