360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer
The 360niseko snow station is now in a new location for the 2016-17 between Hirafu and Higashiyama. The altitude is similar to the last position in lower Hirafu village but 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 vise versa – some day’s everywhere get’s 30cm!! 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 front door on the ground. We do our best to report the snowfall with out the hyperbole – enjoy.
