A bluebird day yesterday for the first day of spring with fresh snow falling the past 2 evenings.  We had around 10cms here at the base overnight and snow is still falling.  The terrain is around a foot in depth off piste, powdery and compact on groomed runs.

I love Niseko. We have had some great days of fresh to wake up to.  The terrain is a little tracked out this morning. However with some more snow on its way we should hopefully see these areas filled once again. Most lifts should be up and running for the week with the Stomping Ground Terrain Park open mid mornings. Average temperatures are forecast to be around -9 and increasing to -3 mid week. Wind chill will bring temperatures down to -20 up top.
