Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 783cm

Good morning from Niseko.


Lots of cloud this morning, some of it looking threatening (over at Annupuri), but with some blue sky in places too.


I hope for some sunshine today and tomorrow. It always feels better ending the season with sunshine.


Anyway, it looks like Annupuri has the Jumbo Number 3 pair lift operating today. I'm not sure what the story is there (and I can't find any official news/announcement about that).


It's my last report of the season tomorrow and it will likely appear later than usual. See you tomorrow!
