Niseko Snow Report

By Rod White

Wednesday, 10 March 2010

5pm Wrap

The forecasted snow for today here in Niseko has not yet appeared – Rather frustrating -- However there is a lot radar activity showing a moisture movement over most of Hokkaido. Tonight should be interesting to see what actually lands in our region so fingers are crossed. Up high today still held some good untracked lines to be traced out, nice cold temps are still over us & there have been very little winds. There is some significant weather coming our way over the 2 –5 days – Most computer models are finding it hard to predict what will actually happen though. We still have a big base happening under the boards, so stay prepared & please ride wisely.
