The snow just keeps coming. Yesterday it also came with a lot of wind which caused the closure of all the top lifts and long queues on the open lifts especially at the King Gondola. It was a very cold day with the Ace thermometer reading minus 16 degrees. Not the best day for skiing as the best powder was not available to skiers and boarders. But in typical Niseko fashion, it has been snowing all night and today should be magic.

The weather charts are showing the boundary between the local high and low pressure systems moving a bit northwards, but there is a good chance of a deep low forming over Hokkaido mid week. It looks more like Thursday than Wednesday at the moment and it is still likely that we will get some wild weather later in the week. We'll just have to wait and see as the charts are a bit unsure at the moment.
