I thought I would bring you some good news this morning and that is that the slopes have a nice white covering this morning. After the very slight dusting of snowfall we saw on Friday morning, it's wet snow falling down in town this morning but on the mountain some nice big flakes of snow have been falling. While there's not a huge amount as yet, the forecast for the day is snow along with strong winds. Over the next few days into the middle of the week we can expect some more snowy conditions down to town as well, so hopefully come the middle of the week there will be some tasty news to share.
Fingers crossed that lifts might be able to open up on planned dates. Grand Hirafu and Annupuri resort areas plan to open on Friday 23rd December.
Planned opening dates:
23rd November
Niseko Grand Hirafu
Niseko Annupuri
1st December
Niseko Village
8th December
