Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 33cm Snowfall at base this season 1090cm Posted on Friday 7th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . After the fun of yesterday (the usual excitements of snow country; I wasn’t alone in having the gas leak or get shut off), I thought it might be nice to sleep in at least a little bit. A quick check around 4am showed that there wasn’t much snow falling.... and it is absolutely dumping at the moment. I’m giving you a mid-way snow depth figure, because it’s coming down in many centimeters per hour at this point. I see that the resorts, to, aren’t adding much to the snowpack numbers yet. Time to fire up those snow throwers and make life liveable! No rest for the plowman.... But it should be excellent for skiers! If you’re going off-piste, though, really be careful and go in a group (with avalanche gear). The chances of sluffing—loose snow avalanches—is seriously high. Update: seems not much of Lotte is open (due to wild conditions) and also hearing that the (train) station is closed.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Madarao region of Nagano New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this season 637cm Weather overview Cloud, snow Wind Varied Temperature - Visibility Poor Posted on Friday 7th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here . Good morning from Madarao. Up to around 10cm of snow since yesterday (ski area reporting 5cm) and snow falling with limited visibility at the start of today. A few more days of this particular cold/snowy front to go (though some forecasts do seem to show the chance of some sun over the weekend at times). Someone asked why the Myoko Now snowfall numbers are sometimes (often?) larger than here. The very simplest way I can explain that is that the Myoko reporter (who I trust 100%) measures what he/she measures and I measure what I measure. If the numbers are different, and there is more snow falling nearby in Myoko, it is because... there is more snow falling in Myoko. We're just reporting what we see. It is not a competition! By the way, if you are particularly interested in how the snow is falling, there's a snowfall measuring stick on the official Madarao website.

The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . It's still snowing. Check the snowfall numbers reported by ski areas in the list below. It will probably be snowing until at least Sunday and maybe into Monday. I was thinking about this last night... I admit to be kind of struggling for words at the moment. I certainly don't want to go overboard with superlatives. It all has to be kept in check, no matter how exciting all this snow is. Still, it is obviously a way way way better 'problem' to have than struggling with snowfall and having to try and tell you about that! :) Enjoy. Be very careful.
