5 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. I can see a beautiful sun rise and blue sky. Great morning to start February.
I was surprised when I looked down from Niseko Village gondora yesterday morning. Most of tracks at Mizuno no sawa were covered by new snow!! I didn’t enter the gate as I wasn’t equipped well, however I had two great runs at Super station. There was icy bottom I could feel sometimes but it was fun:) Today’s condition would be like yesterday, or even better with good visibility.
More snow is forecast for a next couple of days from tonight.
