This morning I have 3cm of fresh snowfall to report to you.

There's just 5cm of fresh snow to add to the report this morning (from yesterday), and it is a rather overcast start to the day.

You want another 20cm of snow? Not quite, but nearly that much once again as I have measured another 18cm of fresh snowfall to add this morning.

It is a good start to the week.

This morning I have measured an additional 20cm of fresh snowfall here at base and it has continued to fall and it continues to be very cold.

I have measured 19cm of lovely fresh snow at base to add to my report this morning (and check the Avalanche report below with 25cm-60cm being numbers that stand out to me).

Just 2cm of fresh snow to report from base this morning.

I am happy to report that things are starting to feel somewhat better this morning with some exciting stuff just ahead of us - the forecast for the coming week is looking good, starting from tomorrow.

With some heavy snowfall in particular during the morning yesterday, I have another 16cm to add since my last report.

So we move into December, an as planned all four of the Niseko United resorts are now open, with lifts at Niseko Village and Niseko HANAZONO starting to move as this report goes live.

Good morning from Niseko and here we are on the last day of November 2018.

This is a little bit more like it, sort of. Not a whole lot of fresh snow down at base so far - ever so slightly over 1cm.

A decent start! I was able to snatch one hour out there yesterday.

Drop your toast! Niseko Grand Hirafu will be open tomorrow.
