Niseko Snow Report, 11 December 2016

by | Dec 11, 2016 | Snow Reports | 0 comments

*15cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 7:00 today the temperature was -7°C. It is going to be another wild day out there with the crazy snowfall continuing! Most of Hokkaido was in chaos yesterday with Airports, train lines, freeways closing under heavy snowfall – Sapporo city had 60cm of snowfall during the day alone! Although the Niseko region has not been pounded to that extent conditions will no doubt be sensational higher up on the mountain today!

360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer

The 360niseko snow station is now in a new location for the 2016-17 between Hirafu and Higashiyama at 200m in altitude. There is 27m difference in altitude to last seasons position in lower Hirafu village 227m. *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.
