Conditions have been getting better every day and yesterday was the best. More snow fell the night before and the wind over the last week has filled in troughs and trees. The sun came out yesterday morning and riding couldn’t have been better. The only problem is that it did not snow as heavily last night as during the rest of the week. There is a dusting of about 5-10cm in the Village with a bit more on top.

The morning is clear with no wind in the Village. All lifts and outside gates will be open for a great day of skiing and boarding. The ocean is calm which indicates that the wind has subsided.

The forecast is for more of the same with very cold temperatures and not a lot of snow. But is seems that Niseko has a weather pattern of it's own and can get a lot more fresh than elsewhere on Hokkaido.
