5 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. I looks calm and sunny today.
Did you find powder and Santa yesterday? Snow condition is extreme now. There are bottomless powder zone and icy zone mixed. It’s hard to see from the lifts. Please ride carefully and slowly first to check conditions. I found Santa in Moiwa yesterday. He was a good skier!! Santa is still in the resort to give a small gift to kids today. Let’s go out and find him:)
Snow is forecast tomorrow, I hope temperatures go down a bit more. Cold winter is coming back to Niseko soon.
