15 cm of new snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. Light snow is falling gently, so beautiful.
I hope everyone enjoyed great snow yesterday. I did enjoy it a lot in Moiwa:) Every runs were fresh all morning. I love spring powder as we can share it with less people:) It’s a hard decision where to go today, so many options!! Please read Niseko avalanche report if you are planning for side/back country. Avalanche risk is generally high after heavy snow fall. No one wants another sad accident.
I found a sale information. If you are looking for new avalanche equipment, check this out!

Snow will keep falling today, and blue birds are forecast for the weekend. Have an awesome powder day!
