Greetings Niseko-loving friends.
Clouds around this morning and windy conditions forecast.
Looks like the top lift at Annupuri might not be opening as scheduled this morning. That's as of nearly 8am, so things may change by the time the ski area plans to be open at 9am.
We still have mixed weather forecast over the next four days.
The last day of the season at Annupuri is planned for Tuesday, the last day of Golden Week.
