Some more snowfall to report this morning after this late blast of winter continues (continued?).
Just under 5cm outside my place I'd say, but rather than snow still falling it is a fine morning and the sun is out. And happily it's not as windy just yet but might get more so later.
Yesterday was the last day of the season for Niseko Hanazono Resort and Niseko Village is now closed up until Golden Week when it plans to re-open.
News from Niseko Grand Hirafu and their plans for lifts to be open from now until the end of the season:
Ace Number 2 Center Four lift (every day until 6th May)
King Number 3 Triple (every day until 6th May)
King Number 4 (every day until 6th May)
Hirafu Gondola on 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th, 29th April and 3-6th May
