10 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. BUT it was dumping yesterday afternoon!! About 30 cm of new snow for just a couple of hours… This is how it snows in Niseko;)
Today is going to be the first deep powder day of the season. If this is your first deep powder, here are some tips. I wrote *control your speed* yesterday, it means *don’t loose your speed* today. If you loose your speed at flat area, you will stuck. Specially if are a snowboarder, you don’t want to go flat area today. There are so much fresh snow in the ski resort. Don’t try to get out of the course or resort, it’s too early.
Snow keeps falling all day today. Tomorrow will be another deep powder day. Have a great day!
