Posted on Wednesday 24th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here
Morning from Niseko and this morning I have another 7cm of snow to report.
It was more cloudy when I got up, but now there is a lot of blue sky and sunshine and it looks like it's going to be a very fine morning.
Wind today just seems to be affecting the gondola and top lift at Annupuri with the other reports looking to open as planned.
That regular snowfall on the forecast for the coming week? It's still there looking pretty so it looks like February 2016 is going to end well for us here in Niseko.
