Good morning from Niseko.
We had some periods of sunshine yesterday, with periods of light snow and less clear at times too.
This morning there is a new thin covering of snow to report. Slightly under 2cm at my main measuring point near Hirafu base. Light snow is falling as of 8:30am. It's fairly bright and now hovering around 0C.
Forecasts seem to be agreeing that the coming week will be a little on the warmer side and feature some rain, particularly around Tuesday/Wednesday. We can perhaps hope for more snow later in the week.
The ski areas on our lovely mountain plan to open on Saturday, which is just six days from now. Without a decent snowfall before Friday, that is currently looking rather unlikely.
I will, of course, keep you updated.

Ski areas plan to open on Saturday.... but they will need lots more snow in order to be able to do that!
