Niseko has been hit with a much-anticipated March winter storm, and the good news is, there's plenty more to come! Riders who braved the Tuesday night's windy conditions were treated to some excellent late-season powder skiing, with snow piling up more and more as the day went on.

The Mountainwatch forecast shows a big week ahead, with an incredible 128cm expected over the next three days, and 163cm over the next seven. Someone clearly forgot to tell Niseko that spring had arrived!
