BIG BAD STORM
*2.5cm of fresh snow has fallen since yesterday morning and at 7:30am today the temperature was -1°c. The wind is howling today and we are experiencing some or the worst weather of the season. Yesterday afternoon heavy rain hit the Niseko region before turning to snow during the night. After this storm passes and the wind dies down we are again expecting great spring conditions on the mountain as it looks like the snow base has been largely unaffected by the rain and temperatures will remain cold.
