What’s happening today
Conditions don’t look that good today so you might want to hold off until they improve and then try…
Snorkel – After a big storm of Niseko’s finest white powder snow you will need a snorkel as you descend down this ski run located in the Niseko Village ski ground.
Ukairo – The highest green ski run in all Niseko ski grounds and made up of switch back turns along a cat track in the Niseko Village ski ground.
Wonderland – It’s at the top of the Niseko Village resort and this red ski run is a true winter wonderland for skiers and snowboarders.
Namara – A red ski run that’s long, wide and open letting you drop down a large stretch of the Niseko Village ski ground.
That Spring Feeling
Although today looks like it’s going to be a typical Niseko stormy winter day, yesterday we got a taste of Spring.
The town snow clearers must be catching up on work because they’ve started widening the roads again.
Wide roads again as last
…and we’re getting glimpses of spring scenery…
That Spring feeling
I missed this morning’s sunrise, but yesterday’s was something to remember…
