Fresh snow on the windscreen, 19 March 2012
With the fantastic fresh snow overnight have decided to head to Niseko Village ski ground and head up the Niseko Gondola and then hit Superstition before heading back up the mountain as high as we can and ride what could be deep powder on Snorkel. There should be some good powder stashes just of some of the ski runs around Namara and Dabesa
Hidden Jem
Last night we went to a fantastic traditional Japanese restaurant in the lower village called Yo. Yo is tucked in behind the pension Hurry Slowly and well worth visiting. Entering the restaurant almost feels like stepping back in time. The food is amazing and reasonably priced.
