Good morning from Niseko on this first day of February.

It's a cloudy morning here in Niseko, as the forecast told us to expect really.

Morning friends, and it's snowing outside this cold morning. There's around 10cm outside my place here, with 15cm of fresh being reported from upper resort areas.

Hello and good morning... it's a better morning than yesterday, which wasn't very nice at all.

It's a busy Sunday morning out there already, but weather-wise a calm start to the day.

So, something of a limited day yesterday.

It's another wild ride today.

Hello from Niseko, and good morning to you all. Another 15cm this morning. It seems to the fashionable number of late!

A cold start to the morning here in Hirafu.

Good morning from my base here in Hirafu and there's another 10-15cm of fresh snow this morning an up to 20cm being reported higher up.

Greetings from Hirafu on this Sunday morning.

Ah yes, back to snow.

It's not snowing this morning and just a dusting to report. It makes a change, I suppose!

Light snow falling outside now and there's another 20cm of snow outside. The Avalanche Report below says 30cm in Hirafu at 1000m.
