New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 772cm
Good morning from Niseko and an early one this morning!
Another small amount of fresh snow on my measuring point and/but as I write this it is snowing quite nicely out there. Yey.
Fingers crossed we might get some more cm during the day.
We expect clear skies tomorrow.
Anyway, I have got to get myself over to Sapporo. See you tomorrow!
