Currently in Niseko. Just finished day 4 of riding. Snow falls are as follows, day1: 5cm and sunny, day2: 10cm and sunny, day3: 15cm and blizzard winds with -30 windchill, day4: 25-30cm and deeper in the trees (thigh deep plus). Finished for arvo as it is now chopped up. Still snowing hard and winds have backed off. Night session is on.

Yep. Had one at the Prince Hotel, halfway up the hill on the left. Also there is free wi-fi and a iMac terminal at J-Sekka’s, next door and upstairs from Proski. We have mainly only ridden Hanazono as a lot of the upper chairs have been on wind hold. The peak opened two days ago and everyone went up there and we rode freshies at Hana from 9am - 11am.
.
Actually might go for an onsen now. Still flogging down. I reckon over half a metre since yesterday morning.

Legs are feeling it a little. Ben riding 4-5hrs straight everyday. Out at 8.30 for first lifts and then ride till 1-2pm. Usually get freshies till 11am and then into the trees for more chaos. Rode Hano1 lift early this morning and did 5 laps before 10.30am. Everyone untracked. Been riding trees off the side of Legend of Shinja run, ridiculous!!!!. Once this got tracked out then back over to Hirafu and picked a few off under Swinging Monkey Chair and then a few longer runs down to the gondola. You get to do a lot of riding.
