Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido
New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 29cm
Greetings from Niseko.
Today was the planned opening date of the ski areas on our lovely mountain but there's not enough snow just yet and so they are all delayed.
We have had a bit of snow overnight with a thin covering on the ground once again.
As with many regions of Japan, some possibly significant snowfall looks due to be with us by the middle of the coming week. It looks very promising.
I'll be back in a few days with another update.
It won't be long before my 'daily' routine clicks into place! I might just have a long lie-in tomorrow morning.
