Good morning to you from the Niseko area where I have another 18cm of snow to report since yesterday morning.

14cm of fresh snow to report to you this morning from my base area here in Hirafu and it feels like a cold wintery morning out there.

It is definitely a better start to the day today with 5cm of fresh snow to report here at base and snow clouds still with us.

I think today will be the first time that I have to talk about wind.

Morning from the Niseko area on this second day of the season.

First of all, new snowfall. After some more rain yesterday, thankfully it turned into snow once again around evening time.
