*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 7:30 today the temperature was -2°C. Just a dusting here at 360niseko HQ. Temperatures are set to remain low today so the groomed runs will be fun again . The confounding run of unseasonably warm weather shows no sign of abating anytime soon. We have heard there are still some patches of good snow out there but you will need an expert guide with a 6th sense to find them! Failing that….have fun on the groomed runs.

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.
