10 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. It’s still snowing outside.
It was another great day yesterday. I went to Niseko Village, there were tracks from a day before but not icy bottom (almost)!! It the top lifts are opened today, there will a dream world…Snow would be super deep and a bit slow. Don’t loose your speed in flat space, better to use long or wide boards if you can. Please read Niseko Avalanche report before you go, avalanche risk is high. We must go back home safely with big smile.
Sunny weekend is forecast. Spring is coming soon. Let’s enjoy this powder as much as we can today!
