Ah yes, rain. It's raining this morning. It's all wet and windy I'm afraid, pretty wild conditions and not much fun to be out at all. Time for an onsen.
Even if you wanted to ski or board today, you might be in trouble as while it's still early on word is that many if not all lifts on the mountain won't be moving this morning. Keep an eye on the official sites for the latest there.
It'll probably warm up to around 10 degrees today and then gradually get colder into tomorrow but the strong winds will likely be with us tomorrow as well.
Today is the last day of the season for the Niseko Hanazono area and also of daily operations at Niseko Village.
Planned resort operations
Niseko Hanazono - until Sunday 7th April
Niseko Village - until Sunday 7th April and then 27th April until 6th May
Niseko Annupuri - until Monday 6th May
Niseko Grand Hirafu - until Monday 6th May
