In addition to the 7cm yesterday, 10cm of fresh snowfall has been recorded although how much has actually come down is hard to say and will depend where you are and where you go today! Very strong winds have been buffeting the area meaning some higher areas could well be scoured but there will be plenty of powder stashes to reward those who go looking.
More wind and snow are on the way tonight and tomorrow but it should start to settle down from Thursday after which hopefully wee may start to see some Niseko backcountry gates opening up!
