The small amount of rainfall in Niseko this morning, likely to be followed by fresh snow tomorrow, serves to highlight the potential dangers of avalanches in the backcountry. Snow packs don’t handle quick changes well so rapid changes in weather can have bad effects on the snow. If the bond between upper layers of the snow pack are weak, rain and changes in temperature can be factors that contribute to layers in a triggered area fracturing which could result in a slide

What a morning! The snow gods were predicted to bring us at least 20cm overnight and they ended up giving us 40. It was very cold, with the wind chill taking the temperature down to around -25ºC, resulting in light, dry powder and lots of it.
