The latest Niseko Now report can be found here Another 11cm of quality fresh snowfall to add to my reports this morning. And it's another very, very cold morning with regular snowfall is still expected over the coming week. Things are good. :) And that's all for today.

Moiwa 800m: -13.7°, W6.4m/s, minor cornice and snowdrift development, good visibility. Mikaeri Weather Station: snowdrift development. Annupuri 1120m: snow depth 230cm, 1150m: -16°. Mizuno no Sawa: -15.85°, NNW6m/s, 11cm new snow in last 24hrs. Hirafu Peak: -18°, NNW10/ms, good visibility. Kutchan Weather Station:- 14.3°, ENE0.8m/s, snow depth 182cm. Cape Benkei: N9m/s, Cape Kamui: N3m/s, pressure 1021hPa, wave 0.8m. Currently light winds of about 10m/s with no significant snow drift development, even above 800m. Snow fall is less than 20cm in the last 24hrs and from observation the avalanche risk is low. Cornice development from dawn is easily fracturing, be careful on cornice slopes. The snow above 800m is mostly reset and all gates are expected to be open. Please listen to the patrols advice and be prepared before going out the gates. Outside the gates is not the ski resort, following other's tracks can lead you astray, always know your current position. There was an accident on the north slope of Higashi One yesterday, ski patrol and the Kutchan Fire Department were involved in the rescue. Hirafu Patrol would like to convey their appreciation to the Fire Department for their assistance. Avalanches are not the only danger in the winter mountains, many other hazards exist outside the ski resorts. Always take cautious actions.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 18cm Snowfall at base this season 805cm Posted on Saturday 9th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here It's another extremely cold morning up here in Hokkaido and snow continues to fall. And I have another 18cm of fresh to add to my report. That number doesn't convey the quality of the snow, which is really nice dry powder. Good quality consistent snowfall. Lovely. And wind does not feel like it is going to be naughty and causing issues with lift operations today. The lines are long for the first lifts this morning. Monday is National Foundation Day in Japan. Here's a bit of background "National Foundation Day was first held in 1967 as a day to reflect on the establishment of the nation and to nurture a love for the country. From 1872 to 1948, February 11 was known as Kigen-setsu, a holiday commemorating the day on which—according to the Nihon Shoki—Emperor Jimmu is said to have acceded the throne in 660 BCE". So now you know. It means that it's a 3-day long weekend for many in Japan and traditionally one of the more popular weekends for a ski trip in peak season. --- Also this weekend, the last chance to check out the famous Sapporo Snow Festival which runs through until Monday. This year it has been the 70th year of the festival, held over three areas in the city - the Odori Site, Susukino Site and Tsudome Site. I hear that some people visiting yesterday were themselves turning into ice sculptures, it was so cold. --- Niseko Avalanche Report: Mountain base 6am: -15℃, 10cm snowfall in 12h, calm. Moiwa800m: -15.1℃, WSW1.7m/s, light development of snowdrifts. Mikaeri junction: -15℃, light snowdrift. Annupuri 1120m snow depth 230cm. Hirafu peak: -16℃, some gusts blowing at 800m elevation. Mizuno no sawa: no data. Suttsu weather station: -7.2℃, WNW3.1m/s, 59cm snow depth. Kutchan: -15.7℃, ENE2.0m/s, 181cm snow depth. Benkei cape: NW15m/s, Kamui cape: WSW9m/s, 1018hPa, 1.8m waves. 15+m/s storm have passed and the snowdrifts are stabilizing. The overall avalanche risk is lowering, however slides caused by falling cornices are still to be considered. All gates are scheduled to open from the morning. Listen to the ski patrol’s instructions and be prepared for the backcountry before stepping out of the gates. The snow much faster than yesterday. Beware of hitting trees. Many cracks are starting to form in various places, but are difficult to see from above. Be careful in steep open faces and knoll terrains. Is your beacon switched on? Do you have a shovel and a probe? Wearing a helmet is highly recommended. There is no 100% safety in the mountains. Be always prudent. Cold temps continues. Have a great day. --- Ski resort operation information: Saturday 9th February 2019 Subject to change due to weather conditions Niseko Grand Hirafu Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 360cm - Base: 155cm Ski lifts operating: - All lifts are planning operating as normal at the start of the day - The Ace Family quad (until 8:30pm), Ace Center 4 quad (8:20pm), Hirafu Gondola (until 8:10pm) and Holiday Number 1 pair (until 8:30pm) lifts are normally open during the evening ----- Niseko HANAZONO Resort Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 260cm - Base: 220cm Ski lifts operating: - All lifts are planning operating as normal at the start of the day - The Hanazono lifts are normally open until 3:50pm (Number 3 until 3:30pm) ----- Niseko Annupuri Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 300cm - Base: 150cm Ski lifts operating: - All lifts are planning operating as normal at the start of the day - The Jumbo 1 lift is normally open until 8:30pm during the evening ----- Niseko Village Official snow depth (reported by resort): - Peak: 305cm - Base: 165cm Ski lifts operating: - All lifts are planning operating as normal at the start of the day - The Upper Village Gondola, Village Express and Banzai Chair lifts are normally open until 8:00pm during the evening Niseko Now 2018-2019 season Data as of Saturday 9th February 2019 Total snowfall at base so far 805cm Number of days snowfall observed at base 68 days Most snowfall observed in 1 day 32cm (29th December) November 2018 snowfall 84cm reported on 8 days December 2018 snowfall 333cm reported on 26 days January 2019 snowfall 285cm reported on 25 days February 2019 snowfall 103cm 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.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano New snowfall at base 3cm Snowfall at base this season 330cm Posted on Friday 8th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here . Morning from Hakuba. Fine in the morning with clouds in the afternoon is how things ended up yesterday. Hakuba 47 were reporting 'mizore' (sleet), I experienced something a bit wetter than that. But this morning it is noticeably colder and there is some fresh snow to report. Here is what the ski resorts are reporting: Hakuba Cortina: 0-cm (base); 10-cm (top) Hakuba Happo-one: 5cm (top of Riesen) Hakuba 47: 5cm Hakuba Goryu: 2cm (Toomi); 10cm (top) Lots of cloud still and snow falling in places, though there's actually some small bits of blue sky showing through in places - so it's a case of varying current conditions depending on where you are in the valley. Some forecasts look good for tomorrow night, others seem less excited about the chance of snow. As we can't do much about it, let's just enjoy what we have and see what happens (as they say). Long weekend ahead, as Monday is 'National Foundation Day' and a national holiday. It's usually one of the most popular and busy weekends of the winter season.
