Niseko Snow Report & Forecast 18 February, 2016

By 17th February 2016Niseko Snow Report

>>Conditions observed 7 am at Village level:

12-hour snow  5 cm
Temperature  -5 °C
Snow depth 130 cm

>> Conditions at 820m (Hirafu midway station):
12-hour snow   10 cm (estimated)
Temperature  -8 °C
Snow depth   370 cm

10 cm of new snow has fallen in the  last 12 hours. Did you enjoy super deep snow yesterday? It might be the deepest day of the season. Now let’s wait till the top lifts and the gates open. Early yesterday a full depth avalanche occurred at 800m in Mizo no Sawa. This reminds me that we need to be careful and have safety equipment all the time when we go through the gates.

This big set seems over for now. Warm weather is coming from this afternoon.  Have a great day!!
