We will be offering Niseko snow reports live from the resort throughout the winter. Niseko will open on December 3rd this year and we aim to get something to you before then!
In the meantime, check out the first snowfalls that appeared on Mount Youtei this month!

Second time to Japan for me and Mrs MA in Feb - but first time in winter and first time on Hokkaido. It's a two week trip from 4th Feb. Going with a guiding company who will take us to wherever the snow is best in the Kiroro and Sapporo areas. Can't wait

Very nice - Sapporo Teine is an absolute banger in good conditions (https://www.fall-line.co.uk/sapporo-teine-japan-ski-resort/), and also near the city Kokusai (National) is one of my favourites too!

I’m taking touring gear and got a few guided days booked. Need to take it easy on the barbies over summer and keep the weight down

@mountainaddict, Nice! I second @wiigman, Teine and Kokusai are both great. There's quite a lot of good terrain accessible with a bit of skinning from the top of the ski lift at Kokusai (also great without touring too if there's fresh snow).
Will you be going to Sapporo Snow Festival too? As that's 4-11 Feb.
I'm planning to be in Japan sometime around mid-Jan to mid-Feb, first time in 3 years. Not sure on the plan but will probably be mostly around resorts close to Sapporo - Kiroro, Kokusai, Teine, maybe Asari and Rusutsu. Possibly Furano area too. Plus some ski touring too hopefully.

Yes! It's the reason that we booked the fortnight we did. Looks amazing from the pics we've seen online.

i was wondering if anyone had any advice for a transfer from chitose airport to niseko. i have looked at the bus but there would be around a 90 min wait when i arrive. i contacted samurai snow but they only do transfers if you book accommodation with them. are there any other decent private transfer companies? thanks

Superb conditions, knee deep on the closed un-pisted pistes (I think they are pistes) ... hard work in the chopped up stuff ... think I need a bigger board

@rayscoops, if you're travelling from the UK, you will need to fly via Tokyo and it's well worth stopping to visit for a few days if you can.
8cm of snow was recorded at our snow station this morning. So far it's snowed every day in December, and snow is forecast every day for the next week. Great news for anyone heading out there soon!
