[Crazy Dog in Niseko!]

i think i've seen this dog, he was tied up at the onigiri place by the grand hifaru gondola when i was there in feb

I note that Niseko Village will be closing from 5 April onwards. Does anyone know what impact this will have on Grand Hirafu and Annapuri ?

 

Is there anyone in Niseko at the moment ? Are restaurants still open or are things shutting down early this year ?

"Niseko Village Ski Resort will close from April 5 to April 28, 2011."

 

From the Niseko Village website. Does anyone know what this is all about ?

How is the food supply situation in Niseko ? I planned a trip for early April and still want to go, but I'm concerned about basic logistics ( I was previously concerned about snow quality only).
