*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 7:00 today the temperature was 3°C. Another punishing morning with warm temperatures and what feels like the onslaught of spring proper. Conditions will hopefully improve in a few days. We did hear of nice runs yesterday off the peak in corn snow down all the way to Hanazono – not quite what would would be excited about in Mid Feb but hey one has to make the best of it.

360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer
The 360niseko’s snow station for the 2019-20 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.
