Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 733cm Posted on Monday 29th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . The day started with high winds during the night, and moved into (ugh) rain earlier. But, as predicted, that freezing line is coming down the hill fast, and we are now seeing light snow outside. We have some pretty strong winds coming in offshore from the west, which hopefully is a good sign that we might end February with solid snowfall later in the day. Those winds already brought the snowpack down a bit, so any snow now is really welcome (needed, even). And even as I'm writing here, the winds are shifting around a bit to the west, and the snow is starting to pick up. Looks really good out there. Hope to be back tomorrow with some good news. The temperatures below are what were reported officially earlier; it's going to be colder than that now.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 41cm Snowfall at base this season 697cm Posted on Wednesday 24th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Unbelievable: Myoko-style snow has returned. The weather report got me with that "snow showers" stuff, but we have 41cm (where I measured in a non-wind-blown spot) and solid snowfall continuing. One time I'm glad the forecasts didn't get it right. Pretty strong winds through the night have left some drifts; could be some wind loading higher up the mountain, so do be a little cautious if you're skiing up high. Otherwise, I'm just sitting here watch it come down at a rate of about a centimeter per hour; just hopes it keeps on going throughout the day. And also watching the areas report an increase in snowpack; always something we like to see.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 25cm Snowfall at base this season 722cm Posted on Thursday 25th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Another jaw dropper: it kept on snowing overnight and into the morning! It looks like... it looks like a good December out there (we have no snow walls to mention this year). It's not particularly heavy at the moment, but it is falling steadily, and that has meant another 25cm by morning. And, of course, this is the day that the snowthrower threw its fan belt.... Well, we can always find some sort of machinery to deal with the snow; the important thing is that it is snowing out there, and the resorts are reporting an increase in snow cover. After a season of writing grim snow reports, I have this warm feeling inside. If this keeps up, maybe we'll have some spring skiing, and resorts staying open as planned (not to jinx anything; the snowpack really is low, and one good south wind with rain can eat a sizeable portion of it!). I have to run early this morning, so all old reports are marked with an * Myoko Now 2015-2016 season Data as of Thursday 25th February 2016 Total snowfall at base so far 722cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 43 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 53cm (10th February) November 2015 snowfall 0cm December 2015 snowfall 140cm reported on 9 days January 2015 snowfall 267cm reported on 18 days February 2015 snowfall 315cm reported on 16 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.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Snow is forecast for later in the day, but right now it's sunny and nice out there. We got an extra 10cm or so through the day yesterday, so white cars and blue skies to start Friday. Some really nice conditions reported yesterday, especially in the side/backcountry. Nice to see people enjoying some genuine powder. It's also a cold cold morning, following that clear sky overnight. I have to run early this morning, so all old reports are marked with an *.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 60cm Snowfall at base this season 793cm Posted on Tuesday 1st March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . A great start to March, with 60cm of snow on the ground (hard to tell, really, as there was a lot of wind involved through the night). Sorry not to post earlier, but the snow also meant I got called out to play with the heavy metal (I love little bulldozers), especially since I still need to change a fan belt on the snow thrower - which is really more convenient, but it's nice to sit and work in a warm cab). The snow continues to fall, and it's nice and cold. Really feels like winter in Myoko. Late though it may be, it's still welcome. Time to enjoy it, because once again we'll see the freezing line rise up on the weekend to 2000 meters or more. We keep seeing this in the 2016 season, and I hope we won't in 2017. The word from the mountain is good, light snow up high. With all that wind - we had cornices and windloading around the house - be careful on lee slopes up there. If you don't know what I mean, time to do a little study before you go out!

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this season 805cm Posted on Thursday 10th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Not much snow overnight - I'll be generous and say we had 2cm - but it has started up again in the last few minutes. I notice that some of the ski areas are showing +10cm or so, so perhaps there was more snow higher up during the day. It was coming down pretty hard during the Yama no Kami (mountain god) ceremony yesterday mid-slope at Akakura Kanko. Maybe a good sign for the rest of the season... at least, as all the local dignitaries there said, it wasn't raining.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 40cm Snowfall at base this season 872cm Posted on Friday 25th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Nature has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? I had to leave early yesterday, didn't think much would happen (so neglecting the report for one day is OK, right?) and then it decides to snow. And snow. And it's still snowing! I got a report from a friend high up on the mountain: 60 to 70cm of light powder up there. This could be the best snowfall of the year. After most people have left, and we thought it was time to get the canoe out. He did add that it's pretty sluffy, too, lower down in the backcountry, so be a little careful (don't go alone, have all your safety gear). Should be great on the groomers, too, even if it is a little bit heavy. The wind has picked up a bit as well; there's a pretty strong north wind blowing offshore and up over the mountains (and therefore snow). I guess we should enjoy this while we can; the freeze level will be heading back up to around 2,000 meters, and rain is back on the forecast around Wednesday. Happy to say it, but the snowpack reports are in the positive.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 814cm Posted on Monday 14th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Woke up to some fresh, if very wet, snow. It's still coming down, light but steady, although it's piling up as slush rather than snow at our location here (about 670 meters, just below Akakan). We have about 5cm on the ground, which looks about the same up on the hill (Akakan and Suginohara both added another 5cm to their snowpack figures today, too). We could be getting more light snow through the week, until that freezing line does start heading up again. At least there might be some sun before the possibility of rain on the weekend. At this point, it might as well be sunny and pleasant, since we most likely aren't going to see any major snowfall again this season. It's getting pretty foggy at the moment, too, but at least snow is involved.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . Things are a bit nicer today than yesterday; there is still some fog (which looks to be clearing), and a light dusting of new snow, instead of the rain. It's still snowing very lightly, and there's the chance that it might clear later in the day. Not such a bad way to end a three-day weekend. The reports are barely in, but I need to get out this morning! Snowshoeing, not skiing, but I'll be out in the woods, and that's always a good thing (especially with a lot of birds now back from their winter break).

Sunny, not too hot, white trees up on the hill.... could be a lot worse! We might get some more, especially tomorrow, but that's going to be it for a while.

It's still wet (this is the end of the snowfall season, of course)... but it's more snow. Always good. I have nothing more to add to that.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . An early report today, because there's a race up on the hill and I will be sitting by a gate making sure everything is OK... The snow tapered off yesterday soon after the report was up, so we only got about five more centimeters of snow. Not bad, of course, since we got some positive figures added to the snowpack reports. Today it's sunny, with some clouds out over the ocean that might bring some snow showers later. Looks like a really nice day for a ski (or for sitting on race course).
