Japan Snow Reports - 30th Dec 2010

It was a gorgeous day in Niseko today! The sun came out (intermittently!) and the tree skiing was magical thanks to some boot deep freshies. ;

It started snowing early this morning in Niseko and hasn't stopped all day! The cover was variable but there were some deep stashes to be found!
