After the somewhat disappointing 'only 15cm' in the report yesterday, we are back to 25cm since yesterday in todays report.

So after I posted the report yesterday morning the clouds did clear up and the sun did make an appearance.

I have been sat here trying to decide what words to use this morning, especially as we try not to get too carried away with epic adjectives on these here reports.

Mad snow at the moment in Niseko.

Another 25cm of snow since yesterday. I'm sure I said that yesterday.

Another 25cm of snow since yesterday. Yes, it just keeps on coming.

More snow once again this morning from Hirafu and this time it's 25cm.

Another 10cm here in Hirafu this morning.

It's another 10cm or so of snow to report this morning, though it is a relatively warm one - into the positives! - and so rather wet snow conditions to what we are used to.

It's a calm morning in Niseko and we can actually see some mountains, including that very lovely one over there called Yotei.

Good morning from Niseko and what a very good morning it is and will be.

Brrrrr, it's an extremely cold morning here in Hirafu.

Another nice cold morning with another 15cm or so of new snowfall to report.

Another 15cm of new snowfall to log into the records this morning at base here in Hirafu and it is still snowing.
