[Originally posted earlier this morning - late appearance due to technical issues]
Today (or perhaps tomorrow depending on how smoothly the process goes) some big changes coming to SnowJapan - and the Niseko Now report too. Hope you like the new look.
A short report this morning - another warm morning here and nice clear weather, though it might cloud over later in the day. Not much of a wind so we should be open as scheduled. Tomorrow very possibly more of the same before very possibly heavy rain is due around Sunday.
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
