Niseko snow report, Sunday 10 December 2017: 12 cm

12cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 6:22 am today the temperature was -6.5 °C.

So the second week of december is looming and we are at a really respectable snow level that is close to half of last years total snowfall as plenty of people have been reminding 360 though this is just a “Normal” year that we have not had for a while. There has been a total no-show of horror rain events and looking out toward the two storms due tonight and Wed night we may even scrape through to the third week of the month without the dreaded liquid. Riding has been dreamy with almost non existant crowds and LOTS of dry light pow. Moiwa resort kicked off the sidecountry party yesterday with the quad chair and gate 6 opening for a crowd of regulars and all things in the world of snow are as they should be.

These next two storms are looking like they are only average so there is no ultra-dump on our radar as yet (Pardon the pun) but hopefully we will have collected another 60-70 cms by next Friday. Either way it’s going to be a great day out there today so go get on it!

Good depth and lots of Vapor at Moiwa yesterday.
