*28cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 07:00 today the temperature was -10°C. This morning again greats us with yet another fantastic layer of fresh snowfall!! Last night it absolutely dumped and the quality of the snow this morning is as good as it gets! We are in the grip of one of if not the strongest cold fronts of the winter with today’s top temperature in Kutchan and Niseko Town forecast to reach only -8! Luckily the winds will be light so it will be a another magical day in the mountains.
We have now had 137cm of accumulative snowfall in the past 7 days!! Up on the mountain add at least another 23-30%!!!

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.
