The mountain is open!

Suddenly everything has come to life here, the Greenleaf and Black Diamond opening party on Saturday was a big success. After the Niseko premiere of Revolver and The Way I see at the Greenleaf the party moved onto the Black Diamond Lodge Bar. The highlight of the impressive buffet spread was a 6ft Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, which was devoured by the bar full of locals, season workers and a few early powder seekers. The prize for forecasting Sunday’s weather goes to Clayton as all the online sites were going for 1-2cms but it was dumping convincingly on the lodge for most of the day.

Monday therefore saw the first day on Niseko’s slopes for most of the BDL staff and our guests. A couple of runs at Hirafu and one at Annupuri were open, today there is one more run at Hirafu open but I think we’ll be off to check out Annupuri. It’s pretty sunny here right now but the forecast is for light snow constantly over the next 2-3 days.
