Blissard conditions for Niseko !

Posted by Andy Filer on Tuesday, December 06, 2011

It's thumping down !!! with over 150cm and the past few days, and much more to come in the next 3-4 days, things are looking great for the Niseko area which is already around the 2 meter mark with snow on the ground, and it's only the first week of December.

This is great news for the resorts which will be able to open some good skiing in the next week!

Another good topic is the snow-pack, and the couple of 30cm dumps we had early that melted and re froze and then got snowed on again. this happened  about 3 times before this big dump we are seeing now, and this a good thing for a nice and strongly consolidated base on all the bamboo that covers the mountains in our area, and makes for a great set up for safe backcountry skiing this season when there is around 16 meters of powder on top of it !

here is a newcam to check out andkeep an eye on for what is happening LIVE from Rhythm Snow Sports in Hirafu.
