So the rain fell yesterday in resort, but at the top it snowed alot even though it was rather wet and heavy.
Today the temperatures have dropped low and are meant to stay low for the rest of the season now, about 1.5" of snow in the village and it still snowing. The forcast for the rest of the week is more snow, aprox 15" over the next 5 days or so.

Nice one Elliot_Simcock,
Hopefully its now "normal service resumes" for Niseko weather and it just snow non stop!
I see snow forecast has it to snow all week (although there forecasting is a bit dodgy) bit if they are saying its gonna snow all week locally then thats great news!!

Well over 50cms of fresh powder on the mid-slopes and more on the top.

Got a bit carried away with the skiing so not much on the photo front......
No where near the deepest powder and I'm standing still at the end of a run.
It was nearing nipple deep in places today! I was sinking so deep even with my pocket rockets, time to invest in a much fatter ski me thinks!
Forecast is showing non-stop snow for the next 3 to 4 days!

You'll be fine
