Light snow is falling in Niseko town now. It wasn’t snowing when I went to bed, I guess snow started falling very late last night. It was a gorgeous day yesterday! Sky was just so beautiful blue and there were 15cm of fresh powder at upper Hanazono! It was surprising and super fun:)
I’ve been riding at Hanazono for 3 days now, so I might go to Niseko Village today. I hope the Limited course is filled up with fresh powder.
A big low pressure will be set on Hokkaido tonight. Another 25-30 cm of snow is forecast through tomorrow night.
– Maiko :)
