Quiet morning without snow removal. I went to Moiwa as it was foggy upper area. There were many fresh snow left actually.

It’s getting hard to find powder in Niseko. If you really want to find it, hiring a powder guide is the best way. They will take you to hidden powder safely. I will go to Annupuri  to enjoy the beautiful groomers. Before next snow fall, MAMMUT will have an avalanche transceiver training seminar at i GATE niseko hirafu tomorrow. It you have a transceiver but don’t know how to use, it will be great timing to learn!

Next snow fall is expected on this Thursday. Please drive safely.
