ABOUT NISEKO

Niseko is on Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. Over 15m of annual snowfall makes Niseko the 2nd snowiest ski resort in the world (behind Mt Baker in Washington).

There’s no need to add to the hype surrounding Niseko. The bottom line is that for reliable, day after day powder skiing and riding there is nowhere on earth that compares. Obscene amounts of snow that fall winter long with typically Japanese dependability, combined with classic tree skiing terrain, long groomers and some wide open alpine, justify all the hype.

Made up of 5 resorts – Grand Hirafu, Higashiyama, Annupuri, Hanazono and our home Moiwa, Niseko is big enough to cater for all tastes. Plenty of beginner and intermediate runs are found side by side with off-piste advanced areas. Despite the constant snowfall, visibility usually isn’t a problem on the lower part of the mountain, so even when the weather is bad up high there is enough to keep you busy down low, and the consistent cold temperatures keep the snow in good condition even in town.
