Welcome back to the Niseko Now reports.
Yesterday we saw a new dusting of light snow up on the upper slopes.
Temperatures dropped during the day and today things improve further. I'm happy to report a fair bit of snow this morning. There was more than 10cm of fresh snow outside my place in the village area at base this morning but in some places more than that as there has also been strong winds blowing it all around too.
(Strong winds are fine before the lifts move, but let's hope that this season will be less marked by wind disruption!)
Anyway it is as you might expect cold out there today and temperatures should continue to struggle to get into positive numbers.
Can lifts get moving next weekend as planned? There's a chance of further snow over the next few days, though I would expect less than what we have had the last 24 hours.
We shall see, and we shall keep you informed.
