March Snow Forecast Above Average

The Japan Meteorological Association is forecasting above average snowfall for March.

March is traditionally a less snowy (for Niseko!) and more sunny month than January and February, but all signs are pointing to another great month of snow ahead.

Niseko United has reported that in addition to Niseko's 15 straight powder days in mid-February, the Japan Meteorological Association is forecasting above average snowfall for March.

With over 14 metres of snow already this season, the epic snowfall looks set to continue.
