There's a change in the air! Winds have picked up and clouds were crossing the sky in Niseko today. Temperatures were still quite mild but the good news is that snow is on the way!
Niseko is the second snowiest resort on the globe boasting 16m of annaul snowfall, the snow is dry and deep and provides some of the most exhilarating powder skiing and snowboarding experiences anywhere in the world. It is not unusual for guests to find themselves enveloped in snow, or as we say, “experiencing the White Room”, as they bounce their way down the slopes.
