The official snow depth at Chuo (the open ski run) is actually unchanged since last Friday, and it continues to be open... just getting narrower!

Good morning from Niseko and it's a cloudy and moody feel kind of start to the day.

Fine and sunny this morning and a warm day expected; but colder tomorrow.

It will be less windy today, and Kagura is scheduled to be open again.

Since the last report there has been varied weather conditions including some rain.

Rain and wind this morning. It's not a pleasant morning.

Bright and sunny early on with a noticeable wind. There's blue looking up beyond our mountain with a more hazy scene looking back towards Mt Yotei.

With Happo-one closing yesterday afternoon, just three ski areas remain part open from this morning.

Warm conditions over the weekend with temps rising over 20C, and more warmth due today.

It's almost totally clear with just some isolated baby clouds in places, including around the top of Mt Yotei.
