Posted on Monday 6th April 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here
It was rain last night and overnight here and this morning we start the day very grey and cloudy and indeed foggy. It's keeping quite cold and set to get colder later on today and tomorrow. Last bit of snow perhaps? Come on, let's see it one more time...
There's now less lifts opening up as we enter this last stretch of the season, and I have noted below which lifts are scheduled to be open at each of the resort areas.
Today is the last day of the season for the Niseko Hanazono lifts and area, while tomorrow is the last day of the main season for Niseko Village - though they plan to be back open for Golden Week.
