BEST EARLY SEASON SNOW IN 50 YEARS!

By 29th December 2011June 28th, 2014Niseko Snow Report

LOCALS had high hopes for this season with a very rare “double La Nina” year – and the powder-filled grins of skiers coming off the hill tell you all you need to know: it’s a fantastic start to the season.

High pressures systems over the arctic keep the snow systems coming and so far this season we’ve had just one snowless day. We’re about three weeks ahead of last season in terms of base depth, and Japanese TV reports this as the best early season snow in 50 years.

It might be tough for businesses but for skiers and boarders this is a perfect scenario: fewer tracks than usual
and more snow than ever, repaying the Niseko faithful with an amazing season start. And indications are this will continue for months yet.
