10cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. Another blue sky and cold morning has started. It was a great day yesterday. I saw lots of smiles and heard ”Wooohoooo!!!!” yesterday. New snow from last night is not enough to cover all the trucks. It’ll be a good day for curving on beautiful groomers or ask your guide to take you to hidden powder.
A strong air mass will cover all of Japan for next couple days. It could snow in Okinawa (Japanese southern island)!! Cold weather will continue and hopefully leave some fresh snow in Niseko, too.
