Apologies for the later-than-usual report from Niseko today.
We are already in the middle of the day and all the mountain is open as planned today. Full speed ahead!
Since yesterday another 25cm or so of soft light fresh snow on the ground. There's not much wind about and I'm sure right now there are many people up there on the mountain enjoying the excellent snow conditions we have.
So much of the same really. Clouds above us and lots of snow to enjoy under our skis and boards... though it is busier today at the start of this long weekend in Japan.
Again, excellent conditions for those lucky enough to be here. Hope you can also get to enjoy it.
