*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 07:00 today the temperature was 3°C. Not much to report in the way of snow this morning but it is not too bad out there with hazy yet clear conditions. There is a bad weather warning in place from this evening when we can expect strong winds and rainfall 🙁 Our tip is to make the most of the weekend as soon as you can as tomorrow will most likely be nasty before too long.

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.
