Mid-April Snow In Niseko

First tracks are easy when it dumps in April! Hope you haven't swapped the skis for golf clubs just yet!

Snow In April Fresh Footprints — It's always exciting when it snows in mid-April!

It seems to happen almost every year, we get a few nice big dumps of snow over the course of March and if we are lucky one or two in April, too! One thing is for sure, when it snows like this in March and April, it gets way easier to find fresh tracks well into the day!

While there is only two to three centimetres of snow down in the towns and villages, yesterday's snowfall brought in 10cm of fresh snow at Mt Annupuri's peak and it is coming down even harder today! Hope you haven't swapped your skis away for your golf clubs just yet!

Though April showers may come your... wait that's no April shower! Snow in April an 10cm at Mt Annupiri's peak! #experienceniseko
