[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

All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Kutchan/Niseko. The 'new snowfall' number represents the amount of snow measured since the previous report. All opinions are those of the individual reporters. Information regarding ski area operations is manually checked every morning and is believed to be correct at the time of the report.


SnowJapan is an entirely independent operation. Our daily reports are not posted on behalf of ski areas or any other business or organisation. Since first going online in 1999, the integrity of this website has always been our top priority, and it is something we are not prepared to compromise. All content is carefully created and written by humans who share a passion for the subject and what SnowJapan stands for.
