Good morning from Niseko where the headline for the day is 12cm of fresh light snowfall round my place here near Hirafu base.

Yesterday the Niseko Annupuri resort area did actually manage to get their Jumbo Number 1 quad operating late on in the afternoon.

The day started off seemingly fairly calm yesterday morning, but unfortunately by mid morning there were some lift disruptions due to windy conditions.

I'm sitting here writing this with a big grin on my face.

What a truly wonderful day yesterday was.

My oh my, we really are enjoying a superb patch right now, aren't we?

Good morning from my secret base here in Hirafu where I have another 11cm of fresh powder to report since yesterday.
