Happy Christmas from Niseko.
There may well be a few sore heads out there early on this morning, but the cold conditions might help snap some people out of it and the the ski lifts will be going about their job as normal. We have just a slight dusting of snow overnight after that lovely day that we had yesterday with clear blue skies all day. Overnight it was very cold indeed with temperatures closing in on -20C.
There's a few more clouds around this morning but lots of blue sky again as well, so it should be another fine morning here at least.
Snow is never going to be far away though and the forecast is telling us to expect it to be falling before the day is over with no let up in the cold temperatures as well. If anything it is going to dip further before getting milder once again around the weekend.
Strong winds likely tomorrow but for today it's a calm start and lifts at the resorts should be operating as normal.
