Yesterday was as fine as I thought it would be. I think the people who were here experiencing it will have been satisfied.

It is one of those mornings when I would prefer to not have to turn on my computer and write a report before heading out to the slopes.

Back at base here and the snow keeps on coming.

I have another 24cm of fresh snowfall to report to you as the plenty refills continue with easily more than 30cm higher up.

There are lots of smiling faces at the moment here as our Christmas period haul of fresh snowfall continues.

Thank you Santa! I have a very respectable 24cm of fresh snowfall at base to report this morning.

Good morning from Niseko and ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

It's milder this morning and unfortunately it's also... raining.

Another 10cm of fresh snow to report this morning which is good - conditions are certainly improving and we'd like to see more!

Good morning and I have another 18cm of snow to report this morning from here in base.

Now this is much better!

Hopefully we can move on quite quickly from the really poor weather conditions the last few days.

Hello everyone and this morning there is less cloud than there has been the last few snowy days - better visibility and more views to enjoy.

The snowfall has been continuing here in Niseko with another 15cm of snow on the ground by my base in Hirafu.
