Snow Report: 20th February, 2012

If you were in any resort around the world outside of Japan you would have thought it was an epic powder day, but for Japan and especially Niseko, it was just another average day! After a few turns I mentioned to my riding partner, “It only snowed a little overnight”. I was told to look [...]

Today delivered! Winds dropped a little overnight and some of the upper lifts that were on hold yesterday were operating. It was pretty disappointing to see so many westerners not obeying the Niseko Rules by ducking under ropes, going through closed gates and riding under lifts. Personally, I think the resorts should be more strict [...]
