It's a nice and cold -7C early on. Annupuri is recording a temperature of -16C up at the top of the resort. That's more like it!

Actually, it's not really a good morning. It's quite miserable really. Wet, grey and windy.

Getting straight to the point --- there's a chance of rain tomorrow. Freezing point is set to whizz up as high as 1000m and it's going to be another mild day.

No new cm of snowfall to report from Niseko this morning, there has just been a slight dusting here in the Hirafu village area. It is a relatively mild and calm morning here.

I have around 10cm or so of very nice quality snowfall to report in the village area this morning - a light delivery both in terms of cm and quality of snow.

And a beautiful morning it is too. The sun is out, blue skies all around, a cute little fluffy cloud thing going on over the summit of Mt Yotei. All is calm.

It is a much calmer morning this morning and all of the mountain should be open. The sun is out and we have clear skies up there. Calmer conditions look set to continue.

Tons of snow in the afternoon yesterday along with some wild conditions out on the mountain. I think some of the Australia Day parties might have started a bit early yesterday!

Well not much snow to report this morning, just 5cm or so around the Hirafu village since my last report.

I have some new snow to report. Yes, about 10cm or so of it. It started snowing in the evening yesterday. We're still not back into prime Niseko weather though as it's very mild this morning. Above zero in fact, and currently the resort is saying +2C at base though down to around -8C up top.

Blimey, another Niseko Now report without any new snow to report. What's going on!? Bit lost for words.

So, we're going through this calm and dry spell at the moment. A run of days when we don't get any snowfall is something that we don't get that much of here in Niseko peak season, as those of you following the reports will no doubt know.
