Posted on Monday 7th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here
There is a lot of cloud up there this morning and some light snow has been falling; just about 6cm of fresh measured outside. It is one of those mornings where it's snowing lightly but quite bright in places, and even some blue sky around. Still, hoping to be able to bring you news of more fresh cm tomorrow.
There seems to be a bit more snowfall on the forecast over the coming week; more than there was yesterday. I like it when it changes that way. What we could really do with is a large prolonged delivery to really get us going, but it looks like we are going to have to wait for major dumpage.
For the moment, open courses remain limited and the situation is as it has been since opening.
Quiet too...
