Good morning from Niseko once again. Not too many of those left this season, though it feels like I've been posting reports forever but today an afternoon one makes a change.


Hope you like the new look of the reports on the main site. Looks pretty good doesn't it? And now we have some interesting data and graphs on there too (valid for reports this season, not the archives).


Oh ok sorry, you want a weather report too! Well we have had a cloudy day here with some winds messing around with a few lifts.


Rain and strong winds due tonight and into tomorrow.

Niseko Hanazono - until Sunday 7th April

Niseko Village - until Sunday 7th April and then 27th April until 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.
