Yesterday started with strong wind. I stopped ridding around 10 am as the visibility was too bad. When I was enjoying a cup of coffee, suddenly the sun started shinning and wind stopped. I checked the lift status then found the all lifts were opened. I ran back to the slopes and enjoyed powder! I learned the early morning is not always the best:)

Very exciting weather forecast in next week. Let’s hope the snow storm won’t miss Niseko again!
