Not many snow has fallen lat night. Sun came out a bit late in the afternoon yesterday, sky was so beautiful and clear, mountains looked amazing.

I’m planning to go to Kiroro today. Kiroro usually has more snow and snow is lighter than Niseko as the mountain is higher and bigger. I go Kiroro sometimes when I want to find more fresh powder. Kiroro is located just in between Niseko and Otaru, about 60 min drive from Niseko. So you can enjoy sightseeing in Otaru in the afternoon. I will go to Otaru to watch new Star Wars film after riding;)

Snow will start falling and keep falling for next week! Enjoy the sunshine today, we don’t know when we can have it next time.
