Good morning from Niseko and... hurray!
I have more fresh snow to report. 7cm of it, in fact.
And what's more, the sun is out and it we are enjoying mostly clear blue skies with just a few friendly-looking clouds hanging around.
It is a lovely morning and definitely should be fun out there with a high temp of around 7C forecast for later on in the day.
I think I am going to have to celebrate with an extra slice of toast with plum jam... once I get back from enjoying some early tracks. Can't resist this morning.
The forecast seems to be showing some rain tomorrow, possibly heavy and windy too.
