A Typhoon of Snow hitting Niseko Today

10cm of new snowfall has been added to the rally for the season and the temperature at 8am this morning was -8c. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there was a LOT more than 10cm of snowfall in the past 24 hours. When we caught a glance at the gauge the night before we took the reading, there was more snow on it which was subsequently blown away. The winds died down by the morning though and more snow is expected throughout the day. Time to get up the mountain and find out where all the powder was blown to yesterday!

The 10cm of new snow which defied the winds and stayed on our snow station.

While the winds calmed down today, yesterday the upper lifts were closed and the resort lower down was unusually busy!
