As you can see the 360niseko weather station measured 5cm overnight, but there's a lot more blowing around – and no doubt building up in places. Very ordinary blizzard conditions today with the top lifts closed. The Hirafu gondy is operating though so if you use your noggin you could find some pretty good little stashes.
Conditions aren't the most family friendly today but nothing that can't be fixed with an onsen and a hot bowl of ramen afterwards.
If you're heading off piste:
• Always check the avalanche report
• And familiarise yourself with the Niseko Rules
