It's a beauty of a morning too after the murkier and windier tone of the report yesterday. About 10cm of fresh snow down at base and surely more than that higher up.

It's Monday 6th May and today is the last day of the official ski season here in the Niseko area.

Fine weather for the day yesterday with mostly blue skies, some white clouds at times.

And.... it has been snowing!

Some cloud around yesterday but largely blue skies until mid afternoon and a nice spring day.

Lovely weather yesterday and it's blue skies from the start again today. Just a few small clouds in places but mostly blue sky and sunshine.

I have some fresh snow to report this morning. Just a bit, but enough to whiten over some of the more 'used-looking' snow close to base.

Good morning and hello from... Hakodate.

Mostly cloudy, some blue skies, some sun now but some light snow falling in places. We might just get a bit more still.

It is cloudy this morning but some blue sky and sun (perhaps more as the morning goes on) and also there is a little more snowfall to report as well.

Good morning from Niseko... and I have some more snow to report. 3cm of it down by base along with some pleasingly cold conditions.

There is a bit more fresh snow to report to you this morning from base and light snow might be what we get at times during the day today.

Well, yesterday was certainly a lot of fun.

18cm of fresh snow to be measured on the ground here at base (total from measurement taken yesterday evening and this morning), with probably more higher up.
