Coastal data: Benkei Cape NW9m/s, Kamui Cape W7m/s, 1012hPa, wave 1.3m. 

We are under a mild winter pressure pattern, a 10-12m/s wind and snowfall continues on the west side of the mountains and at sea. 10-30cm snow fell overnight with no significant cornice or wind slab development. The overall avalanche risk is low. All gates except 10 are expected to be open. Prepare before going through the gates. Niseko, with its easy lift access to fresh snow, has long been popular with enthusiasts who love to ski fresh snow, and as a result, there have been many accidents. That's why the Niseko Rules were developed. The Niseko Rules, although not intending to promote tourism, have ultimately led to today's booming business in Niseko. However, the Niseko Rules' are only there to prevent accidents. Cutting the lift line is an embarrassing act and should not be done. Also, do not duck ropes. Quickly ducking a rope to get a few turns always leads to copycats and eventually to accidents. These rules do not infringe on the freedom of tourists. Do not yell or argue with others on the mountain. Have some dignity. I think it's the same anywhere. Have a nice day.
