Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 783cm
Good morning from Niseko.
It's rather overcast early on this morning though forecasts indicate we may get some sun. Not much wind.
Forecasts for Sunday onwards are looking interesting. Heavy rain into Monday along with a lot of wind, and then some snow on upper mountain areas?
Sunday is the last day of the ski season at Niseko Hanazono.
From Monday, only Niseko Annupuri ski area will remain open.
Someone asked about that fabulous 'Johnnie Walker Blue Label Ice Chalet Pop-Up Store & Bar' structure by the Hanazono lifts. Sadly, of course, we can no longer buy posh bags for our bottles of whisky. As far as I know, it's just standing there unused. Like I said before, I think they should have put some toasters in there - luxury ones, of course - and call it 'Toast' for the remainder of the season. Everyone loves toast. It would have been jolly popular.
