Another day, another bagel, with no snow fall last night across Niseko. We shouldn't be too concerned though as the couple of snowless days we've just endured are about to give way to snow. By mid-afternoon expect good falls to be coming down and that should continue through the night. And these falls will hopefully just be the start of a solid system set to thrown down on us for a few days yet.
Check your current lift operations here, or for a look at what's happening out the back, check the in with the Niseko Avalanche Institute's report here.
This weekend may werll be the busiest weekend of the season, but just head away a little from the busy Hirafu Family Ace bottle neck and the mountain will open up enormously. Don't go ducking ropes of course, but as the above photo shows, there's still freshies to be had… if you're prepared to look for them!
