It's going to be a good day
It has been about 4 days since we last had snow, which is about the longest dry spell for the season. It was another blue-bird day here in Central Hokkaido and it has been great touring weather. It is always nice for us skiers to wake up to a half buried car, but spare a thought for all the none skiers out there.
The photo above was the start of a very big day in the Niseko area. It was one of the deeper days of the season. The video below shows footage from that day as well as video taken around Central Hokkaido. Can you notice the difference in the snow?
In Central Hokkaido, the powder tends to be lighter and drier, while the coast is a little heavier. The coast does get more snow though, and hey, the skiing still looks pretty darned good as well. Who am I to complain!
