*6cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 06:00 today the temperature was -3°C. Finally we have a spring dump to get really excited about!! It looks like winter, feels like winter…great snow quality this morning with dry light powder. It will be a great day up on the mountain 100%!! The temperature is forecast to quickly climb ( no pun intended ) so today more than ever best to get up asap, get up high and go go go! If you are venturing up high beware of cracks in the snowpack which will have been covered up by this snowfall.
We are really happy to have finally passed the 14m of accumulative snowfall at the 360niseko HQ!

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.
