Posted on Tuesday 21st November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here
I think I used the word 'wow' yesterday, so I feel somewhat unoriginal using it again but... wow! Being unoriginal in November is a little concerning, though in this case, it's good news...!
This really is turning up to be an impressive start to the winter season and I can't quite remember such a start. But long may that continue.
With the continued snowfall during the day yesterday, this morning I have another 21cm of fresh snowfall here at base to add to the report.
We're still looking at a good chance of milder conditions and rain tomorrow. (Booo).
Beyond that though, the forecast is looking very nice still.
Fantastic. I love being able to bring great news.
