The e-mail sent  to members and friends of AAC Niseko this week was just in time for the first snow (“hatsu yuki”) in Niseko.  As we predicted, it wasn’t long before a few of the locals would be making the rest of us envious by photographing their first tracks (“hatsu torakku”?) for the White Season. 

Admittedly, there is not yet much of a snow base and it is still likely to be a few weeks before the ski lifts start spinning in Niseko.  We’ll start counting the flakes from then.
