*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 7:00 today the temperature was -1°C. Well folks here we are in March. Usually a period of blue skies and fresh pow. This year we have the blue skies but not the pow. With no end in sight for the next week with no snowfall predicted we will wrap up the daily reports for the season. If it falls we will report it. Hoping for a late cold snap and fresh pow – fingers crossed!

360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer
The 360niseko’s snow station for the 2017-18 season is in Higashiyama at 200m *The Hirafu Gondola is at 305m. Please be aware that this new reading is NOT in Hirafu village but a few kilometers down the road. There is always a deviation how and where the snow falls – the area is famous for micro climates and mini weather patterns. Some days there may be 10cm in Annupuri and 25cm in Hanazono and vice versa – some days 30cm of fresh snowfall comes down everywhere!! Altitude plays a big part as well so please don’t take the 360niseko snow readings as being definitive – the readings are what is outside our house on the ground.
