New snow to report this morning!
Just when people thought it was all over, the best part of 10cm or so of fresh snow in the village base area this morning - and no doubt a bit more up top too. The resort has added 3cm to the upper snow depth as a result.
Still light snow falling early on now and it's hovering around 0 degrees at the moment. Not too windy too and so the lifts are operating as planned so it seems.
Good morning to get out there, and amazing when you remember the date and see well over 4m reported by the resort!

Niseko Village - currently closed but will re-open between 27th April and 6th May
