Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 10cm Snowfall at base this season 1628cm Posted on Sunday 6th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . The dust has moved on to the east, some snow fell — but not much. We were hoping for a nice fall of fresh stuff to cover up the dust and maybe start getting ready of the crust on the surface of the snow. But we haven't gotten that much yet, and the sun keeps popping out, so it doesn't look like a powder day in Myoko today. For the backcountry people, it's that transitional period now, isn't it? It would be great to have a nice heavy snowfall, even if it's heavy spring snow, but it would also be nice for the snow to just settle down and firm up so we could get some good spring skiing in. But let's not be negative! There's a ton of snow on the hill, and lots of time left to enjoy it. There's always something to do on the snow, whatever the condition, right?

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Good morning from Nozawa. It feels colder this morning! And later in the day wet turned into snow overnight. It's not often that lower areas report more snow than the top, but that's what we have today (see the list below). I see more too. Curious. Whatever, Naski is out in it and still has a smiler on their face. You can always rely on Naski. Visibility is pretty low out there even at base as of 8:30am and the snow is coming down. Still lifts appear to be opening as planned for those who would like to brave these conditions. Make sure you know where you're going - and stick with friends... would be my advice. Tomorrow I might have some winter-like Nozawa-rashi numbers to report, which would of course be great. It will be calmer and clearer too, so good for folks who want to enjoy it.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 17cm Snowfall at base this season 601cm Posted on Sunday 6th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Good morning from Hakuba. Yesterday we worried about wind again. But hey, how about this?! There's still some wind but it feels colder again and feels like a winter morning. Hakuba Goryu this morning win the 'most reported snowfall' - they are claiming 40cm of fresh snow on their upper slopes. I do like the sound of that. Other numbers coming in aren't as big but generally agree on there being 20-30cm on the mountainsides. Nice. And I have measured 17cm on the ground too. It is still snowing and more is due through the day today. If we get some sun tomorrow morning like forecasts show, tomorrow should be a very good time to be here. Well, today is too, of course, if you like being out there in the snow! Beyond today no snow on the weekly forecast and it is probably going to start getting a bit warmer too. ----- Total snowfall accumulation this season so far [*upper areas] [As reported by official sources at time of this report] Hakuba Goryu: 939cm Hakuba 47: 885cm Hakuba Happo-one: 796cm Hakuba Cortina: 1097cm Tsugaike Mountain Resort: 878cm ----- Hakuba Goryu Reported snowfall this morning: - Upper: 40cm Official snow depth: - Upper: 410cm - Toomi: 190cm Hakuba 47 Reported snowfall this morning: - Summit: 30cm - Lower: 15cm Official snow depth: - Top: 400cm - Base: 180cm Hakuba Happo-one Reported snowfall this morning: - Kurobishi: 25cm - Riesen: 5cm (?) - Usagidaira: 26cm - Nakiyama: 20cm Official snow depth: - Kurobishi: 420cm - Usagidaira: 272cm - Nakiyama: 130cm Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field Reported snowfall this morning: - Mountain Side: 10cm - Village Side: 10cm Official snow depth: - Mountain Side: 240cm - Village Side: 130cm Tsugaike Mountain Resort Reported snowfall this morning: - Upper: 21cm Official snow depth: - Upper: 391cm - Lower: 130cm Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth: - 380cm Hakuba Cortina Reported snowfall (24 hours): - Summit: 20cm - Lower: 18cm Official snow depth: - Top: 390cm - Base: 250cm Hakuba Now 2021-2022 season Data as Sunday 6th March 2022 Total snowfall at base so far 601cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 56 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 54cm (14th January) November 2021 snowfall 29cm reported on 4 days December 2021 snowfall 130cm reported on 12 days January 2022 snowfall 228cm reported on 20 days February 2022 snowfall 197cm reported on 19 days March 2022 snowfall 17cm reported on 1 day 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 Hakuba.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 11cm Snowfall at base this season 1083cm Posted on Sunday 6th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here It might have been windy but I do have some fresh snow to report since yesterday morning. 11cm of it. It's another relatively mild morning but thankfully the wind is not quite as pesky and we should be able to enjoy the whole mountain. Actually let me leave that in there and update you in real time.... top lifts at Hirafu and Village not opening as planned at 8:30am. Doh! Looks like it might just be a maintenance kind of delay thingy. Anyway, it's time for some Sunday morning toast. I hope you have a nice day. ----- Niseko Avalanche Report Moiwa base: -5℃, 15cm new snow, calm. Moiwa 800m: -6℃, WSW2.1m/s, 15cm new snow, major snowdrift development. Annupuri 1150m: -9.5℃, WNW2.4m/s, 15cm new snow, snowdrift development. Hirafu 1000m: -9.1℃, SSW3.2m/s, snowdrift development. Hirafu 1250m: -10℃, snow data n/a, snowdrift development. Coastal data- Benkei cape: SW4m/s, Kamui cape: S9m/s, hPa n/a , wave 1.5m. The wind has dropped and it's calm in the middle of a wide low pressure trough. The trees below 900m are covered in rime from yesterday's low pressure snowfall. Above 800m, slab avalanches are likely to occur on steep slopes, gullies and creek sidewalls this morning due to the snowdrifts accumulated during the 18hr southerly blizzard yesterday. From observation, the snow is starting to stabilize and all gates are expected to open. Please listen to the patrols instructions and prepare before exiting the gates. The low pressure snowfall is made up of non uniform crystals and follows a different process of snowdrift development and stabilization than the more usual uniform snow slabs formed in a winter type pressure distribution. However if development is rapid both will break under external stimuli. To judge the danger it is better to pay attention to how the snow has fallen rather than the amount fallen. If the atmospheric pressure gradient increases again the avalanche risk will also increase. Today's snow is better than expected. Be careful in poor visibility and of a sudden change in weather. The snow is different everyday. Have a good day. ----- Planned ski area operations: Sunday 6th March 2022 The below snow depth and snowfall data is manually checked each morning from official sources.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 6cm Snowfall at base this season 1618cm Posted on Friday 4th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Another day with a clear start, and clouds starting to come in over Mt. Myoko. A wild change of weather midday yesterday; it was sunny and nice right around noon, when a wall of fog came up from the valley and brought visibility down to just a few meters. Some people up on the mountain said they were literally skiing from tree to tree as a group, just to keep from getting lost. There's a crunchy crust on the snow, with just a few centimeters of sticky new snow on top. On piste it should be great; those heading out from the areas will probably not have a great day (especially with visibility being obscured). Tomorrow it looks to be even warmer, and then there's the possibility of heavy snow starting late tomorrow and into Sunday. Maybe. Mountain weather, huh?

Sunday is going to be colder than it has been, and possibly rather windy too, but beyond that it's going to get warmer and calmer again as the struggle between winter and spring gathers pace.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this season 1089cm Posted on Friday 4th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . There's sun and clearer skies in some places in the region. For the moment we have some cloud over us here, but the sun just starting to break through in lower areas. It feels like it is going to clear up. Sunshine is forecast for tomorrow and the day after and it will get slightly warmer (hopefully not too much). Lots of snow and some very fine conditions.
