I am going to Niseko for 7 nights in late December. I have two times in which I can pick from: 20-28 Dec or 30 Dec-6 Jan. The first dates have accommodation that has been recommended to me (full note pension) whereas they are booked when we were originally going to go (30-6). I have found accommodation 1km out of Hirafu at a backpackers for the later dates. Would the time difference be enough for there to be more snow at the later dates or does a week apart not really matter (meaning the first set of dates will have enough snow fall)? This might be a useless question but any help would be appreciated!
I am travelling from Australia and coming for the powder that we dont see in Australia (unfortunately I cant come later in the snow season).
