The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . A real mixed day yesterday, with snow falling pretty much through the day, some wind, some sun. Variety. Not a whole lot of new snow, but there was enough yesterday to get gliders up above the ice underneath the fresh. There still is a noticeable layer of breakable wet snow under the new snow of the past two days; it seems to be hardening a bit but the warmer weather over the coming days will really change things a lot, I'd bet.

By mid afternoon Hakuba 47 were reporting 20cm of snowfall. There is more snow to report this morning too. 10+cm of it around base since yesterday and more as you go higher. Nice weather this morning too. The sun is out, there's some blue sky and a bunch of white cloud around too. Atmospheric, I'd say. Having said that it seems wind is hanging around and messing with a few top lifts at the start of the day at Happo-one, 47 and Tsugaike. No snow on the forecasts now this week, or if so only very light, with things on the way to start warming up, particularly as we get to the weekend. Wind shouldn't be a problem either, so a nice time to be out. ----- Hakuba Cortina back to '12 hours' for their snowfall number this morning.

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.

The latest Zao Now report can be found here . A significant snowfall last night especially higher but good also lower. Unfortunately viz is right down although you can just about see 2m of the slope in front to ride. Higher up it can be tricky in distinguishing trails which have bends in them. There are strong winds around and especially roaring up Uwanodai where it can be a bit confusing seeing snow from the slope blowing up at you as if you were moving even when not. There is supposed to be a bit of sun this morning but will need to wait and see. The wind however is likely to intensify.

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?
