Yesterday winds ended up affecting some lift operations on the mountain again but it seems today the resorts are getting ready to be open as normal.
Just a sprinkling of new snow, perhaps up to a few cm in places, but it's fairly wet. It's all a bit dull out there this morning actually with a fog on the mountain making visibility in places really poor. Just a slight wind at the moment at base.
Perhaps a bit brighter tomorrow but along with it the chance of rainfall.
Planned resort operations
Niseko Hanazono - until Sunday 7th April
Niseko Village - until Sunday 7th April
Niseko Annupuri - until Monday 6th May
Niseko Grand Hirafu - until Monday 6th May
