* 0 cm has fallen in the last 24 hours. At 5:50 am today the temperature was +2.0c.
As we type this morning steady rain is falling here at 300m as forecast so it’s shaping up for a gloomy day. The rain is probably snow above 1000m but it’s probably a great day to tune equipment and onsen hard. The rain is a good thing though. Why? Because it means things are going as forecast and temps will drop across the day and the rain will turn to LOTS of snow and tomorrow should be a banger pow day. It will also get pretty windy today so if you are out there on the mountain keep an extra layer handy for when the change hits.

360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer
The 360niseko now has 2 snow stations for the 2017-18 season in Higashiyama at 200m and 300m *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 houses on the ground.
