After a kind of gloomy stretch of warm and wet, I am happy to report that there is some fresh snow to report this morning.
I have just measured 9cm and it definitely feels colder out. It is windy too. Great to see the snow back, but it does look like tomorrow is going to be milder once again and (I'll say it in a low voice) the chance of some more rain. Hopefully not, of course.
Niseko Village ski area is still planning on opening from tomorrow. The Banzai Chair and Community Chair lifts are set to officially start the season. Yey!
The other ski areas plan to be open from Saturday.
