We got 25 cm of new snow for just one night. This is how it snows in Niseko.
It wasn’t windy so much so all resort should have lots of snow equally. I am still deciding which resort I should go because fresh snow is everywhere! Avalanche risk should be high after big dumps, please check Niseko avalanche report before you head to the gate or touring.
Weather map looks good, it will be a snowy week.
