Some good snowfall to report this morning - almost 20cm of it and it is still coming down. It's cold, it's snowing. That is a good way to end November.

I am happy to report that after the rain yesterday, it feels much colder this morning, and it is snowing and quite windy too.

We're back into double figures of fresh snowfall this morning (how we like it), and I have just measured 15cm.

I have another modest amount of snow to report to you since yesterday.

It is a cold start to the weekend and has been a bit of a stormy start too with wind and snow.

Things are different this morning - it's sunny blue skies from early on with just some cloud in places.

It is a cloudy and calm morning early on today.

The very good pre-season news continues this morning with another 20cm or so of fresh snow (at base) since my last report.

Following yesterday's snow during the day and overnight, I have another 19cm of fresh snow to report this morning.

I am very happy to be able to report a decent amount of fresh snow on the ground this morning.

First snow on the ground to report this morning... around 5cm of it too in places.

After coming out of hibernation a few weeks ago, I have been gradually waking up and filling myself with lots of delicious toast.

Good morning from Niseko on this official last day of the 2022-2023 season at Niseko Grand Hirafu, Sunday 7th May 2023.

It's the last weekend of the season!
