Another 10-15cm of snowfall here in Niseko since yesterday and it's a decidedly colder morning this morning, around -5C at the moment. Variable winds on the mountain with Annupuri reporting 13m/s and above, along with a temperature of -15C up top. Wrap up well to seek the rewards! The top Jumbo Number 4 lift at Annupruri is not operating early on because of those winds.
It's going to stay cold right through the week by the looks of things and around Tuesday we should see some heavier snowfall. It doesn't look we're going to catch too much of the sun for a while.
