It is a better morning here in Niseko - a hearty welcome back to colder conditions and snow.

Wind affected things yesterday and were noisy overnight too.

Good morning from Niseko and a very happy Chinese New Year to everyone who is celebrating it. I don't want to make a mistake with the words I use, and so please accept it in English!

Hello to you all, and it is another very good morning here in Niseko.

Good morning from Niseko and the very fine start to the month continues this morning with another good 15cm of fresh snow and the good Avalanche folk reporting up to 30cm on mountain.

There's another 10cm more fresh on the ground this morning, thank you very much!

After an excellent day on the slopes yesterday, do I have news of our 'daily refresh'? Yes I do!

Good morning and there's another very good layer of beautiful fresh snow to report.

Good morning and it's an early report this morning as I need to get out early today.

Good morning to you and this morning I have another 12cm of fresh snowfall overnight to report which makes for a decent start to February.

Yesterday there was more cloud at the end of the day than the beginning, but generally a very fine day yesterday weather wise with a lot of people out enjoying it as well.

It is a lovely morning here in Niseko.

Morning. It has been snowing lightly again here this morning though as I look outside the window it seems to have stopped for the moment.

Just a little bit of fresh snow at base since my last report, 1cm of it in fact.
