Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido
New snowfall at base 17cm
Snowfall at base this season 553cm
Posted on Thursday 6th February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here
A decent amount of snowfall overnight and I have measured 17cm of it to report to you this morning here at base.
Once again, very fine quality powder so conditions on the mountain should be really very good this morning.
We have blue skies and sunshine with just a little thin cloud in places. Mt Yotei is looking very beautiful over there and our mountain is looking very tempting.
It is very cold this morning so be prepared for that if you are heading out today.
It doesn't feel like there's much of a wind and so I expect all lifts should be moving as scheduled this morning. (The Country Road Chair lift is resting again this morning).
OK, so I have to go now to... er, wash my hair or something...
