There may well be a few sore heads out there early on this morning, but the cold conditions might help snap some people out of it and the the ski lifts will be going about their job as normal.

It is a very cold morning here in Niseko. We have another 5cm of fresh snow this morning. All is calm, lots of blue sky and the sun is out. A beautiful morning actually - as long as you are wrapped up and ready for the cold. Did I mention it was cold? Earlier, the thermometer told me -10C outside.

Another 10-15cm of snowfall here in Niseko since yesterday and it's a decidedly colder morning this morning, around -5C at the moment. Variable winds on the mountain with Annupuri reporting 13m/s and above, along with a temperature of -15C up top.

Welcome to the weekend. And I have more snow to report, another 5-10cm or so since yesterday. It is not as cold as yesterday and currently around -1C in the village, cloudy but fairly bright with it and light snow forecast for the day.

The snow continued yesterday and we have another 15-20cm of the wonderful stuff around the village this morning. I could get used to saying that every morning!

Yesterday was an excellent day in Niseko with wonderful conditions being enjoyed out there. After the bumper snow that I reported yesterday I wasn't quite expecting to be reporting similar this morning. But that's the way it is, with another 35cm of fresh snow to report this morning.

A very good morning to you from Niseko. And a very good morning it is! I have 40cm of fresh snowfall to report today and it is still snowing. Oh yes. And it is very cold as well, earlier on when I got up it was closing in on minus double digits, and currently around -8C. Annupuri say it is -15C up top this morning.

Another 10cm of snow to report this morning from the village with the temperature around the same as yesterday as well as those winds affecting some top lifts on the mountain as well. Similar kind of conditions as yesterday really.

I have another 10cm or so of snow to report from my base here in Hirafu this morning since yesterday. It is definitely colder this morning as well along with a return of stronger winds on the mountain that are affecting top lifts at the moment.

Anyone get out to enjoy the nighta last night? Can't say I did but I hope to soon. It's quite a mild morning here in Niseko, currently around 3 degrees in the village and not cold out on the slopes either.

Around 5cm or so of new snowfall since my last report in Niseko, though all the snow depth numbers from around the resorts remain unchanged this morning.

This morning it is not as cold as yesterday, currently around -1C, and there's a 1m/s wind around base, and importantly 10cm or so of fresh snow that has fallen early this morning and light snow is falling. It feels fairly mild today and likely will be into tomorrow as well, but hopefully we will see some into Sunday and then temperatures drop as we move into next week when it's looking good for a decent snowfall.

Just a dusting overnight and a very cold morning here in Niseko, it was minus double figures earlier on when I got up.

Weather conditions are calm this morning and all lifts seem to be operating as they should be at at normal speeds early on. Some white clouds hanging on but lots of blue sky up there to see this morning and the sun is out.
