Japan - Ishikawa: latest snow conditions round-up

JAPAN After more depressingly warm and wet days in Hokkaido, it looks like conditions are starting to change with 10cm of fresh snow reported in Niseko on Tuesday and a snowier picture in the forecast for the week ahead. There's nothing really open (just a few beginner runs with minimal snow cover) at present as the resort waits for a base to build.

It's a fairly similar picture across Japan with most of the major areas affected by rain at the start of this week but many with a simple 500-1000 metre long run available to make some turns, but nothing yet to reflect the ski conditions Japan is famous for.

Summary of forecast snowfall and ski conditions for resorts in Japan - Ishikawa. Fresh snow is forecast at 9 resorts. Powder is reported at 0 resorts and 0 are reporting good piste conditions.
