Another 10 cm of light dry snow has fallen. I went to Niseko Village and had an awesome run at Mizuno no sawa yesterday. Snow was so white and fresh, sky was so clear and blue. I hope everyone had a great day.
It’ll be another epic day today. It will be clear up in the morning and almost no wind. Today is a good day to try hiking to the peak of Annupuri. Please read Niseko avalanche report and listen to the ski patrol at the gates. I am planning to go back country today. It’s very cold in early morning. Don’t forget your face mask, and camera, too:)
More snow is forecast for tonight. Have a nice day!
