We have snow! And a really good amount of it has been delivered since yesterday, too.

Some more snow since my last report, though not a huge amount.

The sun is out now but overnight we got a blast of winter conditions, and a layer of snow.

Now that all the bears have gone to sleep - hopefully/please/maybe not - we start this morning with a celebratory blanket of snow in town.

The sun is out and increasing blue skies as the morning goes on.

A little more snow and a mix of cloud and blue sky this morning.

Kumanoyu ski area will open on Friday (21st November).

OK sports fans, up until yesterday, there was nothing on the ground, and we woke up to about 20 cm. This is good.

5+ cm around base by this morning with more to come by tomorrow.

Good morning from a snowy Niseko, although as I type out this report, it is actually quite bright.
