Alpen ridge line, Hana 3 and Tetsu's trees were all deep and untracked. Powder quality was light and dry.30cm+ of new snow has fallen, and the sun is shining providing perfect visibility this morning. More snow is expected after lunch, but with good powder coverage and slight wind conditions, great turns are there to be had.Yesterday a small avalanche occurred within the resort - the lower side of Miharashi slid for about 40 metres down on to the family course. With fluctuating temperatures and increasing snow loading, caution is required for those heading backcountry. Did anyone see this? Damn there looks to be some fine fine snow in niseko.
