The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Snow, a lot of wind overnight and cold. Good snow out there today, lots of it in drifts early this morning, and more coming.

We haven’t had that much snow yet, but the forecast for the city in general just talked about 50cm, which means more up here. Sluffs are always a concern; more serious avalanches could happen. --- Akakura Kanko: 270cm, -8° The website animation shows Hotel No. 1 lift not running Akakura Onsen: 330cm, -7° Alpen Blick Resort 220cm, -4° Myoko Suginohara: 170cm top, 140cm base; -11° Kyukamura RunRun: 280cm, -4° (they’re showing a 70cm drop in snowpack....hmmm?)

Once the lifts close, of course. All lifts at Happo-one are up and running this morning, so it can't be that windy. ;) I'll leave the last word to Tsugaike: "Carving, I think it slides good and free."

The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here . Some more snow overnight and some rather full-on winter conditions this morning. Moderate snow and wind.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 454cm Posted on Friday 6th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here . Good morning skiers & boarders, Well, it's a-blowin' and a-snowin' out there. Then it stops for a bit, and it's pretty nice out. With all the wind, almost impossible to gauge how much snow actually fell, but 5 cm seems about right for now. The resort is reporting about 10 cm on top. Forecast calls for wind/snow all day today, so we might get some more. Given the weather conditions, the resort has preemptively notified that any lift may be closed due to weather conditions. You pays your money, you takes your chances. Think snow. --- Furano Zone Lift A: 8:30--3:40 Lift B: 9:00--3:40 Lift C: 8:30--6:00 Lift D: 8:40--3:40 Lift E: 9:00-3:40 Snow Escalator:9-12:30 & 1:30-3:30 Kitanomine Zone: Lift F: 8:30--6:00 Lift G: 8:45--3:40 Lift H: 9:00--3:40 Lift K (Gondola): 9:00--3:40 Kitanomine snow escalator: 9:00-12:00, 1:00-3:30 Furano Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Friday 6th February 2026 Total snowfall at base 454cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 52 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 30cm (6th December) November 2025 snowfall 45cm reported on 5 days December 2025 snowfall 234cm reported on 22 days January 2026 snowfall 163cm reported on 22 days February 2026 snowfall 12cm reported on 3 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 Furano.

- Niseko Now: Friday 6th February 2026
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 7cm Snowfall at base this season 725cm I was woken up by the sound of wind in the middle of the night. Very rude, I thought. At the start of the day a lot of lifts are on hold due to the continued pesky winds with only a few lower lifts starting the day. It looks like the gondolas at Hirafu and Hanazono are warming up, though the gondolas at Village and Annpuri are not operating. As gnarly as I am, of course, not for me these conditions. I might actually catch up on the sleep I lost! If you do decide to venture out in this weather, extra care required. More snow is due over the next few days; hopefully with less wind. I have been a bit busy the last few days and just noticed that I haven't yet mentioned the 76th Sapporo Snow Festival, which is now ongoing over in... Sapporo. I am not going this year but it has always been interesting when I have been in the past, especially the large snow sculptures. I believe this year some of the sculptures include ones of characters from Star Wars and the Aizuwakamatsu castle in Fukushima. The festival runs through Wednesday 11th February at three 'sites' (Odori, Tsudome and Susukino). I read that last year 2.3 million people attended the festive. Sounds busier than Niseko! ------------------------------------ Niseko Avalanche Report Moiwa base 6am: -5℃, strong wind, 15cm snowfall, snowdrift development. Moiwa 800m: -8.7℃, WNE14.8m/s, rapid snowdrift development. Annupuri 1100m: -10.7℃, W15.8m/s. Village 1000m: -9.5℃, WSW11.1m/s. Hirafu Hanazono 1000m: -8.8℃, N7.5m/s. Coastal data: Kamui Cape SW26m/s, 999hPa, 2.2m waves. Westerly winds strengthened at 3:00 AM, bringing a fierce snowstorm to the mountains. Snowdrifts are rapidly developing. The avalanche risk on leeward slopes is increasing at all elevations. Ocean wave heights are expected to exceed 4m. It is recommended to cancel today’s tour. It is also recommended to stay off the slopes today. If new snowdrifts exceed 100cm in thickness, the increased weight of the snow plates (snowdrifts and wind snow slabs)will make them susceptible to weak line fractures due to structural weaknesses. Currently, research and experiments are being conducted by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention at Moiwa Ski Resort @ 800m. We are grateful to Moiwa Ski Resort for their cooperation, and we respect the efforts of the researchers in such a harsh environment. Main gates will be closed to prevent accidents. Do not sneak past patrol and duck ropes to ski off the course. It might be a good idea to go to a hot spring today. Be careful of traffic accidents and snow falling from roofs. ------------------------------------ Niseko HANAZONO Resort Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 10cm Base: 15cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 285cm (+5cm change since yesterday) Base: 200cm (+2cm change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 4 of 4 lifts Gondola until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 10cm Base: 10cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 360cm (+10cm change since yesterday) Base: 145cm (+5cm change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 9 of 9 lifts Ace Gondola, Ace Family quad, King Gondola and King Holiday pair until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Village Ski Resort Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 265cm (no change since yesterday) Base: 190cm (no change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 7 of 8 lifts (not Country Road) Upper Village Gondola, Village Express and Banzai Chair until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Annupuri Kokusai Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 0cm Base: 0cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 290cm (no change since yesterday) Base: 200cm (no change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 6 of 6 lifts Jumbo Number 1 quad until 7:30pm ------------------ Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort Planned lift operations: 3 of 3 lifts Niseko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Friday 6th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 725cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 63 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 36cm (on 12th January) November 2025 snowfall 29cm reported on 7 days December 2025 snowfall 189cm reported on 23 days January 2026 snowfall 451cm reported on 28 days February 2026 snowfall 56cm reported on 5 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 Kutchan/Niseko.

- Myoko Now: Thursday 5th February 2026
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 0cm Snowfall at base this season 908cm Posted on Thursday 5th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . An early report, because I have to get out there on this sunny and warm day. The morning news pretty much focused on how warm it’s going to be, and how dangerous the falling snow can be. A lot of roofs here still have a lot of snow on them, so that’s pretty good advice. An old, unoccupied house just below Akakan dropped a huge load right on the road a few days ago; luckily (amazingly?) there was no car below, or anyone walking. Enough came down that the results would have been really bad for either car or human. The next wave of heavy snow looks like it will follow, so look for interesting snow news for the weekend! I’ll mark any new reports in the listings, but things should be close to yesterday. --- Akakura Kanko: 290cm, -5° Akakura Onsen: 330cm, -3° (new report) Alpen Blick Resort 220cm, -5° (nothing new since the 3rd) Myoko Suginohara: 180cm top, 130cm base; -10° Kyukamura RunRun: 350cm, 0° (new report) Seki Onsen: 590cm, -1° (new report) Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 155cm, -6° Madarao Mountain Resort: 215cm, -2° (new report) Lotte Arai Resort: 473cm, 1.6° Roppongi Road closed Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 210cm top, 110cm base; -5° (new report) Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Thursday 5th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 908cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 38 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 43cm reported on 2 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.
