*0cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was 2°C. Wild weather has gripped Niseko with gale force winds and snow flying sideways. It is extremely unlikely that any lifts will be running today. Temperatures are all over the place this week but the snow is forecast to keep falling and as soon as the wind calms down there will be some excellent wind blown powder stashes all over Niseko United
Bluebird
Some times the weather forecast is accurate and sometimes it isn’t. Take yesterday for example, cloud and snowfall was on the forecast but instead we had a perfect bluebird that lasted all day! No one was complaining.
