*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 07:00 today the temperature was 6°C. A dreary grey morning here in Niseko. We have warm southerly winds which will steadily get stronger through the day before coming gale force by the afternoon. Suffice to say it is a good morning to hit the groomers early.
Yesterday’s brilliant conditions have us feeling like the party is over….the lights are on, the music just got cut but we still have a drink in our hand and are staggering around so to speak. But no we still have a month to go and have A LOT of snow…as of yesterday 445cm at the peak and 145cm at the base – phoar! It will be an amazing spring here in Niseko so come and join the party 😉

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.
