Good morning from Niseko, and it's another fine and sunny morning as expected... cold overnight but it's into double digits already this morning as of 9am. It should be a warm day. Same tomorrow with this warming trend continuing. 20 degrees anyone?
Snowfall seems something of a distant memory now at this stage.
There's a moderate wind this morning but the lifts that plan to be open seem to be operating.
Hirafu Gondola plans to be open tomorrow and Sunday and then Tuesday... basically the 'holidays' over the Golden Week period.
