*10cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 07:00 today the temperature was -8°C. Absolutely dumping out there this morning and that 10cm will quickly double if it keeps up! Much colder out there today to recommend an extra layer and face masks are a must. The snow quality is exceptional and skiing and snowboarding today in Niseko will be as well 😉

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.
