- Myoko Now: Sunday 18th January 2015
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 60cm Snowfall at base this season 941cm Posted on Sunday 18th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Only a few reports in from the resorts, but I wanted to get this out early. If you're thinking about going offpiste today, choose low-angle slopes in the trees! We have one person missing after going off above Akakan, and a big avalanche down the road in Arai with one person not accounted for - probe line is going on as this report goes out. All that wind - which got much stronger after my report, and which had gone on through the night before - has deposited some serious wind loading on the hills, and people were reporting slides coming down all over the place. On piste, you're going to have a great day. It's a little sunny, a little snowy, and the environment will be controlled. It's not all about skiing the trees, folks; cruising on the groomed can be quite invigorating. *=report in today Akakura Kanko: 350cm, -6° Akakura Onsen: 280cm, -2° Ikenotaira Onsen: 285cm, -1°* Myoko Suginohara: 270cm, -10° Seki Onsen: 450cm, -5° Myoko Ski Park: 310cm, -3° Kyukamura RunRun: 330cm, -3° Tangram Ski Circus: 230cm, -3°* Madarao Kogen: 220m, -7° Planned night skiing in the Myoko area: Akakura Onsen (Kumado): until 10pm every day until 22 March Tangram Ski Circus: until 8pm on Saturdays until 28 March Madarao Kogen: until 9pm on Saturdays until 21 March Myoko Now 2014-2015 season Data as of Sunday 18th January 2015 Total snowfall at base so far 941cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 28 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 90cm (14th December) November 2014 snowfall 0cm December 2014 snowfall 561cm reported on 16 days January 2015 snowfall 380cm reported on 12 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 836cm Posted on Tuesday 13th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . It's a beautiful day out there - too bad for a lot of people that the three-day weekend was over yesterday! It's partly cloudy, with a nice warm (but not too hot) sun shining down. It looked pretty cloudy to the north and the ocean, but the clouds are dissipating as they get closer, so it's still mostly sunny. The resorts aren't reporting any new snow, but there is about 5cm of light stuff on top of yesterday's big fall. Besides a Christmas-card-like day (trees heavy with snow, sparkling flakes in the sunlight), the Shin-Akakura area is holding a nightly saké event at a kamakura (Japanese-style igloo) right next to the Sky Cable gondola at Akakan. Nice way to absorb some local culture, with all local saké.

- Myoko Now: Tuesday 20th January 2015
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 30cm Snowfall at base this season 971cm Posted on Tuesday 20th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Good morning (just)! A late start today, without a snowthrower and armed with only a shovel to dig out the 30cm or so that came in from last night. How did people live in this part of the world before the coming of hydraulics and turbocharged diesel engines? Nice snowfall overnight; a little heavy, and some wind along with the snow. It's still coming down midday, with some winds perking up from time to time and building cornices on the snow walls. Should be some good, soft snow skiing today. The winds coming in off the coast are coming down a bit, and the atmospheric pressure is rising—and the forecast is for the possibility of brighter conditions tomorrow, warmer temperatures, and then more snow from late Thursday (rain is a possibility, but we won't mention that just yet). Today, too, the wind says be extra careful when traveling off the courses. It was on the news last night, but it bears repeating: if you're off the course in the trees, you might as well be five kilometers back in the mountains - you're not safer just because you're close to the resort. If you don't have the right gear (beacon, shovel, probe, water, food, some extra clothes, etc.), you really shouldn't be out there. "Your own responsibility" is only good until you're in trouble, as a wise local man said to me once—once you're hurt or lost or stuck out there, you'll be responsible in the end, but you'll be dependent on others in the meantime.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . The day started really clear and blue today (and a bit colder, too). It's still mostly sunny, although there is a high layer of thin clouds up there now. Could be a bit of calm before the storm; it's getting warmer, with the possibility of some rain later today and into tomorrow, changing to potentially heavy snow tomorrow.

- Myoko Now: Wednesday 28th January 2015
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 15cm Snowfall at base this season 1036cm Posted on Wednesday 28th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Winter is back! Snow is back! Nothing like a good, fresh coat of the white stuff to restore the look of the town... the snow was getting a bit ratty looking there.... Not a huge accumulation so far - perhaps 15cm, with some blowing. Nice, fairly large flakes are falling right now, and what has fallen is pretty light. A little more, and we have the makings of some good powder (keep an eye up high on wind-loading, though; these cycles of warm/rain/sun followed by layers of wind-deposited snow are pretty scary). A good day to go back outside again; I know a lot of people (like the guys who recognized me this morning, and who went to Nagano for some city fun yesterday) did anything but ski. It happens, right? There's lots to do here, luckily, when the weather and hills don't cooperate. Funny on the temperatures today: my car, the best and most accurate source, said -5°C at the base of Akakan at 8am.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . It's another, ah, interesting day in Myoko. We started out with some fine snow (tiny round ice pellets, really), some fog high on the mountain and generally gray conditions. Now the sun is out and it's getting warmer - tomorrow the freezing line will go way up the mountain, with a possibility of rain (maybe even heavy) toward the evening. What the....?! Well, the strange weather we're talked about continues. The Coast guard into from the coast shows a southern, offshore wind in the area closest to us (possibly flowing down the mountains and across the Takada Plan to the coast?) with the winds calming and a rising barometer. I'm thinking about taking the safe course tomorrow, and going wakasagi (smelt) fishing in Lake Nojiri tomorrow.

- Myoko Now: Friday 23rd January 2015
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 10cm Snowfall at base this season 1001cm Posted on Friday 23rd January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Another cycle of weather is moving through Myoko today, after a rainy and generally gray Thursday. We've got wind, snow, poor visibility - all the things that seem to happen after a warm day or two. Actually, this January has been an odd one; usually this is the month where we don't see the sun very often; February has seen some rain and warm spells before going back to nice powder late in the month and into March. This has also meant more unstable conditions in the mountains than we'd normally expect, and with this wind, it will be a good idea to be extra careful if you head off of the resorts. Personally, I'm just happy that the monster snowthrower has returned from the shop, and the windows have been cleared away—no more living in a dark (although warm) cave.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . It's a beautiful, almost perfect day in Myoko (even knowing our preference for heavy snowfalls and minimal visibility). The mountains were glowing yellow at sunrise and sparkling white now (and I would have told you this earlier if the main computer didn't decide to reject the keyboard...). It was pretty good and cold as well, which should keep that good snow from yesterday in good condition. The regional forecast is for more snow after noon, but it doesn't look too likely just yet. The wind has come down and the atmospheric pressure is still rising on the coast, so the nice weather might hold.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . A beautiful, cold, clear day today. The morning started pretty dramatically, with a pure white Myoko peak and Jupiter just setting to its north side, then a spectacular yellow sunrise hitting the peak. The trees are covered in white, too - just a beautiful, Christmas card kind of look. A lot colder, too, and the snow was light (another useful side to having to clear snow: you really get to know when it's nice and light, or wet and heavy). The sun probably won't last long, though; there are some clouds to the north over the sea, and snow is on the forecast for the rest of the week.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . It started out sunny in Myoko this morning; it's still fairly clear at base level, but the peaks are now in the clouds. Not much wind down low, either, although it could be a bit more blustery higher up (which seems to be the case in other Niigata ski areas. Other than that, not much going on.

- Myoko Now: Sunday 1st February 2015
Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 40cm Snowfall at base this season 1126cm Posted on Sunday 1st February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Pretty good snowfall overnight - looks like 40cm or so - and it continues to snow today, despite a few moments of sun earlier in the day. The wind can't seem to make up its mind, either; it's blowing pretty hard at the moment, mostly from the north but then switching around to the west/southwest. Off the coast the winds are coming in strong from the northwest, so locally it's probably the effect of the mountain, which can get things spinning at times. Pretty cold as well. People traveling offpiste yesterday did report some instability in the snow—sluffin, and even some slabs resulting from wind-loaded slopes. Be careful!
