Niseko Moiwa's Snow Sure Score of 43/100 indicates fair conditions, primarily influenced by a current snow depth of only 42 cm at both base and summit, which is below optimal for quality skiing. The recent snowfall of 21.28 cm over the last week is modest, and while the forecast predicts an average of 40.1 cm over the next two weeks, the season total of 145 cm suggests that accumulation has been insufficient thus far.
