Another 10cm of fresh snow to report this morning which is good - conditions are certainly improving and we'd like to see more!

Good morning and I have another 18cm of snow to report this morning from here in base.

Now this is much better!

Hopefully we can move on quite quickly from the really poor weather conditions the last few days.

Hello everyone and this morning there is less cloud than there has been the last few snowy days - better visibility and more views to enjoy.

The snowfall has been continuing here in Niseko with another 15cm of snow on the ground by my base in Hirafu.

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.

The sun is out and it's a beautiful morning.

This is a bit more like it!
