Myoko Snow Report

Myoko Snow Reports run from around mid-November & continue after until last lifts close in early May. Like these reports? Buy me a coffee!

https://buymeacoffee.com/myoko Welcome to the Myoko Snow Report (aka Myoko Kogen Ski Report & Weather) which updates snow, weather and ski conditions direct from Myoko Kogen – Akakura Onsen, Akakan, Suginohara, Madarao/Tangram, Seki Onsen, Ikenotaira, Arai, Charmant Hiuchi and Cupid Valley + nearby resorts regularly. In our snow reports you will find the latest snowfall, weather conditions, curren

t temperature and even some of the happenings around the ski resort & village. Our Myoko Snow Reports run from the start of the Japan ski season in mid-December and run until sometime in March or April (depending on snow conditions). Generally January and February are the best months for skiing Myoko Kogen although it’s not unusual to have awesome powder conditions in December or March, or even April!

Myoko Snow Report 29 December 2024

It’s not often that we call 30-40cm a ‘fizzer’ but that’s pretty much the case this weekend. We were expecting a mega-dump but it hasn’t ended up anywhere near that for most of the resorts. The exceptions were Arai (reporting 57cm) and Seki Onsen (reporting a non believable 100cm). Most of the falls came yesterday between about 2-6pm.

Looking at some socials I thought the wind had directed a lot of the big snow from around the coast and dumped it on the Hakuba resorts. But then I see reports of only 15-30cm. A real head scratcher. Falls seem to have been really localised.

So the positive is that my man servant has less snow clearing to do, and that conditions will still be awesome today. Because, TBH 30cm is a lot more fun, and a lot safer, than 80cm. We may have some more big falls today, but who knows? Conditions are forecast to moderate from tomorrow, maybe even some blue ski, but then a big dump is likely from late on 2 Jan on. Might see a little bit of mixed rain/hail snow on New Years Day.

Also have some pics, some media, some inside intel that you’d like to share? We love receiving contributions, so make sure to tag/message or on your socials.

You will be able to check out conditions and views via our Myoko webcams and Madarao webcams and buy me a coffee while you do so. Just saying. https://buymeacoffee.com/myoko

Updated season outlook (English follows)

新潟地方気象台は2024年12月24日、新潟県を含む北陸地方の来年1月から3月までの3か月予報を発表した。期間の前半は冬型の気圧配置が強まりやすいため、向こう3か月の降水量と降雪量は平年並みか多いと予想されている。一方、3月の気温は高いと見込まれ、春の訪れは早い模様。

月別の予報は次の通り。

【1月】冬型の気圧配置が強まりやすく、平年に比べ曇りや雪または雨の日が多い。降水量は平年並みか多い。気温は平年並みか低い。
【2月】平年と同様に曇りや雪または雨の日が多い。降水量と気温はほぼ平年並み。
【3月】天気は数日の周期で変わる。降水量はほぼ平年並み。気温は高い。

On December 24, 2024, the Niigata Regional Meteorological Observatory announced its three-month forecast for the Hokuriku region, including Myoko, from January to March of next year. As winter atmospheric pressure patterns are likely to strengthen in the first half of the period, precipitation and snowfall over the next three months are expected to be normal or above average. Meanwhile, temperatures in March are expected to be high, and spring is expected to arrive early.

The monthly forecast is as follows:

[January] Winter atmospheric pressure patterns tend to strengthen, resulting in more cloudy, snowy, or rainy days than average. Precipitation is average or higher than average. Temperatures are average or lower.
[February] Cloudy and snowy or rainy days are common, as in an average year. Precipitation and temperatures are roughly average.
[March] The weather changes every few days. Precipitation is about average. Temperatures are high.

Bottom line, it's going to be a full on January, a great February but visitors are probably unlikely to get a lot of powder days in March. However, there will be an excellent base and some great backcountry conditions.

Myoko Snow Report 28 December 2024

Sorry we didn't get around to a report yesterday. Big reason - there was too much snow to clear. By the time that was out of the way, then having to teach my yoga class before getting to a booked mani-pedi appointment, the day was gone. If it's any consolation, my inner chakra is feeling good this morning, or it might just be the three Red Bulls and hash cookie I had for breakfast. Yes, I love you all.

We had falls of 40cm by yesterday morning and then was up to another 50cm added since then. A lot more up higher I would imagine.

The forecast is something else for this weekend. The area is facing a very cold atmospheric pressure pattern with high pressure in the west and low pressure in the east. Where the isobars over the Sea of Japan are bending in an L-shape, winds are colliding, and snow clouds are developing and flowing in one after another in quick succession. A strong cold air mass with temperatures below -33°C is entering at an altitude of around 5,000m, which means we're seeing falls of heavy snow right down to the plains of Joetsu. Conditions will moderate from Monday but then another big dump is likely from 2 Jan on.

Now to some of the implications. For those with cars, be very careful driving in these conditions. For those wanting to head off-piste or backcountry - simply don't! There will be plenty of powder on-piste. Just wait a couple of days. Lastly trains coming from Nagano are only running to Kurohime (check https://www.shinanorailway.co.jp/) and trains from Naoetsu may also stop (check https://www.echigo-tokimeki.co.jp/). So, if you are heading in or out you may want to talk with your accommodation providers (see https://myoko.jp/stay/) if they can run you to another station or get you a taxi.

I'm exhausted just writing this, but off to snowblower land we go again, and again. Till tomorrow (maybe...). Please buy me a coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/myoko/

Myoko Snow Report 26 December 2024

I have woozily awoken from my calorie induced Xmas stupor to see what the snow gods are bringing us today. Lifts have just started turning at most resorts as I type this. At present there is a lot of thick cloud but visibility seems pretty good down low on the slopes.

Yesterday it was all about the bluebird and fun turns on fresh snow. There's been nothing overnight, just a clear crisp sky that will keep the snow in great condition for today. Things will change further later in the day as yet another cold front moves in that will bring snow for the next three days at least. How much? Well, the forecasts are somewhat divergent - anywhere between 80cm - 150cm. Either way, it will be a lot.

Remember that we are only two weeks into the season so there will be a chance of glide cracks and unstable bases so be careful. You will be able to check out conditions and views via our Myoko webcams and Madarao webcams.

Myoko Snow Report 24 December 2024

Good morning everyone. It’s Xmas Eve, and there's no need to be afraid. Yes, it snowed again. Lots. No idea how much because I’m writing this before the sun has come up. Estimating somewhere between 30-50cm on the lower slopes, more up higher. Whichever resort you're at it will be a great day! I'll be updating more on the website about 10am (if I'm out of bed by then). It’s going to continue until later today, take a brief respite over Xmas, then crank up again. Definitely the best start to a season since about 2014/15 I think.

Big big Xmas thank you to Andi and Adrian who bought me coffees/sake yesterday. You guys rock! As you are the first donations for the season I hereby award you the privilege of messaging me anytime this season for resort hints. Scroll to the bottom of our report at https://myokosnowreport.com if you’d like to know more.

You'll also get to read a little Xmas poem that only a tired chu-hai ridden brain can conjur at 3am on a cold snowy Myoko winter morn.

Myoko Snow Report December 23, 2024

There’s lots of snow people. Lodge Tronco this morning reporting 37cm. If you’re in the area, stop looking at your phone and get out there.

Arai is still having all kinds of problems with lifts due to wind and other courses closed off due to avalanche risk and poor visibility. Be very careful out there. All other resorts seem to be operating normally, although some are still running with limited lifts. Snowfall will continue until later tomorrow. If you have a car the resorts are reminding people to be very careful on the roads

Myoko Snow Report 22 December 2024

Absolutely crazy night here. Lots of snowfall but lots of wind too and a bit of thunder. The walls were shaking at MSR corporate HQ. Resorts are reporting varied levels of new snow. 7cm at Arai up to 40cm at Madarao. The quality is variable though with a fair bit of icy/wet snow rather than nice powder so be careful out there and don’t stray out of bounds too far.

Most lifts are operating including the gondolas at Suginohara and Akakan but get the feeling that may change if the winds pick up any more. There are some problems at Arai though. The Zendana Lift and Gondola (between Nakama and Zendana Station) are suspended. The Gondola (to Roppongi Station), Kogenashi Lift, and Sanroku 1st and 2nd Lifts have had all their carriages removed. The situation may change after inspections.

20/12/2024

Hi everyone, your intrepid reporter is back with the first full report of the season. Sorry if you’ve been waiting breathlessly for updates but I’ve been hit by a combination of lethargy and writer’s block, as well as a focus on other projects that actually help pay bills.*

First of all, we’ve had some decent snows. If anyone was wondering. Perhaps, wait a moment, even a bit more than decent. It’s been an awesome start to the season with all resorts firing up some lifts on time, some starting last weekend and the rest this coming weekend. Despite that, it was actually very much touch and go until almost the very last. Decent falls from last WED/THU prompted Suginohara to open at short notice last Friday and the others have been following.

Just will drop a note in here that the legendary Inoue-san of Seki Onsen sent me to remind me that lifts open there this Saturday at 9am. Make sure to get first runs!
キー場営業開始お知らせ。今年は積雪も豊富で予定どおり12月21日(土) AM9:00より開始致します。今シーズンもよろしくお願い申し上げます。株式会社妙高
Why aren’t more resort owners/managers more friendly/helpful like this? One of the deep mysteries of life in the snow country. And they have a new website too (sekionsen.jp) after the hamsters died at their last hosting company.

We’ve had a sunny bluebird Friday and a very cold couple of nights on THU/FRI making things a bit icy. Looking forward we should see snow rolling in from Saturday evening through till later on Tuesday. Not a huge dump but good to keep topping what is already some very good depth.

We will try to update reports as often as we can but we have a few other things on our plate this season such as renos at our new off mountain corporate HQ, replying to hordes of email during what is shaping up as the craziest season in Myoko since the bubble economy times, and maybe, just maybe even a lit bit of skiing.
Also have some pics, some media, some inside intel that you’d like to share? We love receiving contributions, so make sure to tag/message or on your socials.

Some real action coming to the Japan Alps, possibly starting tonight but definitely from tomorrow.

Whilst they missed out on the last big dump (which mainly benefited Hakuba) Myoko Kogen 妙高高原, Nozawa Onsen, Myoko Ski Resort, Madarao Kogen and Shiga Kogen will all receive up to a metre of snow on their upper slopes, possibly more, between now and Monday. Quite a good possibility of snow right down to the coastline too in Joetsu Myoko.

You will be able to check out conditions and views via our Myoko webcams and Madarao webcams.

Myoko Snow Report
22 November 2024

Still a bit of snow hanging around Myoko with cold temperatures. Expecting another leg down in just over a week, around 1 or 2 December, where we should see some very nice falls. Fairly confident there will be a good base for the start of the season. Still a bit of free accommodation around at that time so a good opportunity for the late bookers.

Weather News JP forecasting a good season (esp. late Jan and early Feb) but still going to be plagued a bit by up and down temperatures. See: https://jp-weathernews-com.translate.goog/news/49828/?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ja&_x_tr_pto=wapp

As forecast, the first decent snows of the season swept in this afternoon. It's reasonably heavy on the upper reaches of the slopes. Down in the valley it's a mixture of snow and rain right down to Lake Nojiri and Myoko Kogen 妙高高原 Station. Expecting this to get a bit heavier during the night. Should end up with 10-20cm on the slopes and the keen people in the village to be up early to skin up. 😉⛷ It will get a little warmer after a couple of days which likely melt anything down low.

13/11/2024

English follows

11/18-19の寒気の南下度合いが明確になってきました。前回より寒気の南下が強まる見通しになってきました。
平地で雪になる上空1500メートル付近で−6℃以下の寒気が、能登半島のすぐ北まで南下。
新潟市より北側は平地でも初雪の可能性が高まっています。高山市や白馬の市街地でも初雪の可能性が結構高いです。
スキー場の積雪は、かぐら、野沢、妙高、白馬、志賀高原で1500メートル以上のところは10-20センチくらい積もるかなという感じです。1000-1500メートルのところはうっすらくらいかなと思います。寒気がすぐ抜けちゃうので・・・。

A incoming pattern of cold weather for 18-19 Nov is becoming clear with it becoming colder, stronger and further south than last time. Forecasts show a cold temperature of -6°C below 1,500 meters above snow on flat land, moving south to just north of Noto Peninsula in Kanazawa.

The possibility of the first snow on the plains north of Niigata City is increasingly likely. On the other side of the ranges from Myoko Kogen 妙高高原 , the possibility of the first decent snowfall in Takayama and Hakuba is quite high. Looks like there will be around 10-20 centimeters of snow above 1,500 metres at Kagura, Nozawa Onsen , Myoko Ski Resort, Madarao Kogen, Destination Hakuba Travel and Shiga Kogen. With Shiga Kogen meant to be opening on 23 Nov things might be touch and go, although they do have some snowmaking ability.

La Nina Japan 2025 Winter Our first forecast update for 2024/25 season in Myoko Kogen is up. It's the heat of summer here, but still time to crack out the crystal ball and see what the long term snow forecast could be for this 2024/25 season in Myoko and surrounding areas with La Niña Japan 2025! Typically, during La Niña years, Japan experiences cooler and wetter conditions in winter, which can influence weather patterns and potentially affect, apart from the ski industry - agriculture, fisheries and even societal activities. However, the exact nature and intensity of these impacts can vary from year to year and area to area. At this very early stage the forecast is good with a 60% chance of a La Niña event. ❄😃 You can read the report here: https://naganonow.com/la-nina-japan-2025-nagano-myoko/ This will be updated as forecasts are updated.

Not the Myoko Snow Report

Flinders Street Train Station Report After the slow sad decline of season 23/24* we thought, for a laugh, we'd introduce Laurence Hewson doing his thing in Melbourne. Next season will be better. There are never two poor seasons in a row in Myoko. Not even during the rice famine of 1863-1865 that forced the closure of all local combinis. We'll hopefully have a season forecast in September or October from the JMA, but are already hearing rumours of a La Nina event. Snow updates should resume sometime in early to mid November.

Myoko Snow Report 13 March 2024 March is the time in Myoko where the locals finally start to get a bit of breathing space after a long slog of snow clearing times. Well, Mother Nature is being a bit cruel this year as we face yet another huge dump. One of my lodge contacts has reported 43cm! I’m just waiting for all the resorts to update and they’re taking their sweet time. @SekiOnsen has reported 40cm+, 20cm at Arai and @MadaraoKogen 30cm. So if you’re waxing up and still deciding, then those places are a decent bet today. I should hopefully have depths and temps up by around 9.30am JST at our web page listed below. As for the next few days forecast, let me say, let’s just live in the moment for today... If you’re out and about on the slopes, don’t forget to tag us at @myokosnowreport! As for conditions in the bc, as I said yesterday, the warmer temperatures are causing some instability, especially on the higher slopes - which have a HIGH avi risk as of this morning. Have a really good think before heading up there. If you really need to go, take great care, have the right gear and check conditions at https://nadare.jp/ Local guides can be found and bookings made at https://myokokogen.org.

Myoko Snow Report 12 March 2024

Myoko Snow Report 12th March 2024 Was a beautiful bluebird day here yesterday. A cold night had kept the piste in good condition but it did get a bit claggy in the afternoon as the day warmed up. Overnight it’s been quite warm although it looks like it’s still stayed below zero degrees on the mid to upper slopes. With no fresh snow yesterday and warmer temps conditions won’t be quite as nice - but good for some relaxed cruisey runs nonetheless. Things will cool down tonight and we’ll be looking at another small dump going into Wednesday - maybe 15-20cm. SF is saying 40cm. I hope they're right and I'm wrong! After that it’s getting quite warm until at least Sunday. If you’re out and about on the slopes, don’t forget to tag us at @myokosnowreport! Conditions in the bc are easing, although the warmer temperatures will be causing some instability, especially on the higher slopes.

Late Myoko Snow Report 10 March 2024 Another good dump overnight with another 20-40cm across most resorts, leading to a great day on the slopes. @ross.saiko.channel was certainly enjoying himself at Arai today. Monday and Tuesday will be a little bit warm before some more snow arrives after lunch on Tuesday, lasting through to Wednesday. Maybe 20cm+. March keeps delivering!

Myoko Snow Report 7th March 2024 We’ve had a pretty good few days and there’s still some light snow coming in this morning. Not a whole lot fell yesterday. The most was 10cm at Seki Onsen who have maintained a base of 280cm and temperature of -3° for several weeks now. Talk about consistency! We’re into the last 2-3 weeks for some resorts already. You can find all the dates via @myokoskiresort. Conditions should be great out on the hill today. Most lifts will likely be operating today but Mitahara course is still closed at Suginohara. It’s pretty much going to keep snowing on and off up until Sunday. Nothing exceptional but certainly enough to keep things interesting. Monday/Tuesday gets a little bit warm, nothing too drastic, before the northerlies should kick back in again on Wednesday. If you’re out and about on the slopes, don’t forget to tag us at @myokosnowreport! Conditions are easing in the back country but great care is still needed. Thanks to Casper and Beth for sending vision yesterday of small avis above the tunnel and in Arai. Check our socials for the vision. Helps spread the news. Although only minor, the wet slabs can push you into a tree or a gully to cause serious injury. Always check conditions at https://nadare.jp/ first. Local guides can be found and bookings made at https://myokokogen.org. Dear readers - you are very lucky! There is still time to buy me a coffee (https://buymeacoffee.com/myoko) to support this nonsense. Arigato. As usual you can still check temperatures and depths in Myoko as per our website below.

Myoko Snow Report 4th March 2024 It was a great day on the hill yesterday. We started with a bluebird day before some cloud cover came in later, and then last night, the snow started coming in again. I haven’t seen the resort levels yet this morning but my gut feeling is that Arai, Charmant, Cupid Valley and likely Seki Onsen (where the snow was absolutely pounding down at 7pm last night) probably have done a bit better than resorts further up the valley. I'll be updating depths about 9.30am (JST) after all the resorts have updated (some can be tardy). Most lifts will likely be operating but some courses are still closed at Suginohara.. It’s pretty much going to keep snowing on and off between here and Friday. Nothing like we saw on Friday but certainly enough to keep things interesting. If you’re out and about on the slopes, don’t forget to tag us at @myokosnowreport! Strongly suggest people still stay out of the backcountry today as the avalanche risk is high. Always check conditions at https://nadare.jp/ first. Local guides for when conditions settle can be found and bookings made at https://myokokogen.org. Don’t panic!

Myoko Snow Report: 27 February 2024 Sorry, report is not posting today. Been trying for the last couple of hours. Interweb glitches. Hope it posts now. @brodiewmarr reliably tells us that there was at least 10cm on the ground at Akakura Kanko yesterday morning, despite them reporting 0cm. It snowed hard all morning at Akakura Onsen, albeit wet and heavy, but then turned light and fluffy in the afternoon. Others in Madarao reported 30cm at least at the base and knee deep in the trees. The snow has kept up overnight so will be interesting and there's been disparate snow recordings at the resorts. For example 10cm at Akakura but 30cm at Akakura Kanko. Whilst just below those resorts a friend recorded 48cm at their lodge! The further good news is that the snow forecast window has been extended out to early tomorrow morning. So we should get at least another 20cm or so by then. The winds are still heading in the right direction until tomorrow evening, so just need to keep getting enough moisture picked up over the Sea of Japan for some bonus freshies. If you’re out and about on the slopes, don’t forget to tag us at @myokosnowreport! If you're after personalised ski resort recommendations, which I'm getting a few of recently, please buy me a coffee first - https://buymeacoffee.com/myoko It's still a bit dicey out in the backcountry. A bit of extra snow will increase the chance of avalanches. Always check conditions at https://nadare.jp/ first. Local guides can be found and bookings made at https://myokokogen.org.
