  • Niseko Now: Wednesday 11th February 2026

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 12cm Snowfall at base this season 762cm Morning from Niseko. It's National Foundation Day. It's not particularly cold this morning, but we do have another layer of fresh snow overnight. It may not be prime quality, but it is of course still welcome. (Always better than a rain alternative). The ski areas are reporting around 10-15cm of fresh, and it is actually snowing at a moderate rate as I am putting this report together. Visibility looks limited to poor on the mountain early on and while it feels quite windy, lifts seem to be planning on opening as normal this morning. Should be getting colder by later on today and into tomorrow. Hopefully more fresh snow, too! Keep it coming. ------------------------------------ Niseko Avalanche Report Moiwa Base 0°C, 15cm wet snowfall. Moiwa 800m -3.6°C, WNW 3.9m/s, 20cm wet snowdrift accumulation, gusts of 15m/s since 5:00 AM. Annupuri 1100m -5.3°C, W 5.9m/s. Niseko Village 1000m -4.2°C, WSW 4.7m/s. Hirafu Hanazono 1000m -4.9°C, N 2.4m/s, dense fog, 15cm snowfall. Hanazono 800m -2.7°C, NE 2.0m/s. Sea of Japan Benkei Cape NNW 15m/s. Kamui Cape WNW 7m/s, 1006hPa, 0.7m waves. Warm air flowed in with the passing low-pressure system, bringing up to 20cm of wet snowfall until dawn. After the system passed, the pressure gradient tightened at around 5:00 AM, bringing in cold air and winds of 15m/s to both the sea and the mountain. The mountain is experiencing dense fog due to the air mass replacement. The opening of the gates is TBD; follow the instructions of the ski patrol. Areas above 600m have been reset by wet snow. Heavy snow avalanches are likely to occur on steep slopes. Be careful, as you can become immobilized if buried. Cornices will largely fracture with even slight stimulation, triggering avalanches below. Do not jump off them. It can trigger a slide. Surveillance of strictly prohibited areas has been increased. Abide by the rules for your own and your companions’ safety. The snow-covered trees are beautiful today. Have a great day.

  • Niseko Now: Tuesday 10th February 2026

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 6cm Snowfall at base this season 750cm Good... afternoon! Actually, I am writing this at my usual time, but I have heard that the report might not actually appear until around lunchtime due to some technical something or other this morning. (Note: information from 8:30am, images will be added from the time of posting). With all that out of the way, it looks like it will be a nice day today. The sun is out right now with a mix of cloud and blue sky. Still cold, but doesn't feel as cold this morning. Hopefully we might get some decent snow tomorrow, particularly as it looks like we are going to experience a mild patch around the coming weekend. Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan, so the number of Japanese nationals in Niseko might double to around 10. Just kidding!!! ;) ------------------------------------ Niseko Avalanche Report Moiwa Base -6°C, 10cm snowfall, calm. Moiwa 800m -7.2°C, WNW 7.2m/s, wind slab development subsided. Annupuri 1100m -9.8°C, WNW 8.5m/s. Niseko Village 1000m -8.5°C, WSW 4.7m/s. Hirafu Hanazono 1000m -9.5°C, N 2.6m/s, 10cm snowfall. Hanazono 800m -6.6°C, ESE 2.1m/s. Sea of Japan Benkei Cape NW 11m/s. Kamui Cape WSW 6m/s, 1019hPa, 1.5m waves. The isobaric spacing has widened, and both sea and mountain are calm. Due to yesterday’s west winds, cornices and wind slabs have developed on the mountain. Impact tests show that the upper 30cm fractured, while the layers below are consolidated and stable for at least another 100cm. The overall avalanche risk is low. Gates are expected to open; follow the ski patrol instructions. Areas above 700m, including within the trees, have been reset by the wind. Watch out for tree collisions. This information is issued to prevent accidents outside the resort boundaries. Niseko respects the freedom of every rider, but that freedom comes with the responsibility to follow the rules. Avalanches are a natural phenomenon; if no people are present, no accident occurs. Never enter strictly prohibited areas. If habitual violations are ignored, an accident will inevitably occur. Beacons are not mandatory, but having one can save your or your companion’s life. Keep it switched on. Many dangers besides avalanches lurk in the mountains. Do not be overconfident and ski with consideration for others. Stay alert for sudden weather changes. Have a great day. ------------------------------------ Niseko HANAZONO Resort Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 10cm Base: 10cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 290cm (+2cm change since yesterday) Base: 205cm (no change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 4 of 4 lifts Gondola until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 15cm Base: 15cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 380cm (+5cm change since yesterday) Base: 160cm (+5cm change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 9 of 9 lifts Ace Gondola, Ace Family quad, King Gondola and King Holiday pair until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Village Ski Resort Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 298cm (+13cm change since yesterday) Base: 165cm (no change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 8 of 8 lifts Upper Village Gondola, Village Express and Banzai Chair until 7:00pm ------------------ Niseko Annupuri Kokusai Official 24 hours snowfall (reported by the ski area): Peak: 5cm Base: 5cm Official snow depth (reported by the ski area): Peak: 280cm (no change since yesterday) Base: 190cm (no change since yesterday) Planned lift operations: 6 of 6 lifts Jumbo Number 1 quad until 7:30pm ------------------ Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort Planned lift operations: 3 of 3 lifts Niseko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Tuesday 10th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 750cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 67 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 36cm (on 12th January) November 2025 snowfall 29cm reported on 7 days December 2025 snowfall 189cm reported on 23 days January 2026 snowfall 451cm reported on 28 days February 2026 snowfall 81cm reported on 9 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Kutchan/Niseko.

The sun is almost coming out right now, but the forecast is for increasing winds and a bit more snow, probably ending later today. --- Akakura Kanko: 300cm, -10° Akakura Onsen: 330cm, -5° Alpen Blick Resort 230cm, -4° Myoko Suginohara: 190cm top, 150cm base; -11° Kyukamura RunRun: 300cm, -5° Seki Onsen: 630cm, -10° Tangram Madarao Tokyu Resort: 170cm, -5° Madarao Mountain Resort: 240cm, -8° Lotte Arai Resort: 487cm, -0.8° Delays due to snow removal Kurohime Kogen Snow Park: 210cm top, 110cm base; -4° Myoko Now 2025-2026 season Data as of Monday 9th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 1007cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 41 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 120cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 35cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 184cm reported on 11 days January 2026 snowfall 646cm reported on 24 days February 2026 snowfall 142cm reported on 5 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Myoko.

  • Hakuba Now: Monday 9th February 2026

    Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this season 307cm Posted on Monday 9th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Snow clouds moved in yesterday after that fine start and we have fresh snow to play in this morning. Snowfall since yesterday ranking time: Tsugaike: 20cm Hakuba Cortina: 20cm Hakuba 47: 10-15cm Hakuba Goryu: 10cm Happo-one: 10cm (Riesen) It is a largely cloudy but wind is noticeable and it is affecting some lifts (you guessed it... at Happo-one). I really hope the new gondola they have planned will be more weather-resistant. We expect clearer skies as the day progresses - indeed that seems to have started as it is quite bright now - and perhaps tomorrow too; then back to some more fresh snowfall on Wednesday. -------------------------------- ABLE Hakuba Goryu New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 10cm Official snow depth: Top: 295cm Top: 125cm ------------ Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park New snowfall (reported as 'todays snowfall'; implies overnight rather than 24 hrs): Top: 15cm Base: 10cm Official snow depth: Top: 310cm Base: 140cm ------------ Hakuba Cortina New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Top: 10cm Official snow depth: Top: 320cm Base: 180cm ------------ Hakuba Happo-one New snowfall (as reported by the ski area): Kurobishi (1680m): ?cm Usagidaira (1400m): ?cm Nakiyama (800m): ?cm Official snow depth (as reported by the ski area): Kurobishi (1680m): 300cm Usagidaira (1400m): 112cm Nakiyama (800m): 70cm ------------ Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field Official snow depth: 245cm ------------ Hakuba Norikura Onsen Official snow depth: 220cm ------------ Jigatake Official snow depth: 90cm ------------ Kashimayari Skijo Family Park Official snow depth: 120cm ------------ Tsugaike Mountain Resort Official snow depth: Upper: 241cm Base: 80cm ------------ White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka Official snow depth: 145cm Hakuba Now 2025-2026 season Data as Monday 9th February 2026 Total snowfall at base so far 307cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 41 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 24cm (on 25th January) November 2025 snowfall 2cm reported on 1 day December 2025 snowfall 98cm reported on 12 days January 2026 snowfall 181cm reported on 22 days February 2026 snowfall 26cm reported on 6 days Previous report Next report All snowfall data presented on this page is the snowfall measured and observed at base/town level by our reporter based in Hakuba.
