HBee 0 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 What week in January or February is the best time to visit Niseko for optimum snow conditions and minimum crowds? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Niseko.....good luck with crowds Best snow.....well some would say mid Jan to mid Feb but since it's based on nature, who really knows year to year Link to post Share on other sites
HBee 0 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cheers. Just wondering if Jan is a safer bet than Feb as I've seen average monthly snowfall records which suggest so. Considering staying in Annupuri to have a better chance of first tracks plus a 2nd week in a different quieter resort, so thank you for your response in my other thread.

snowdude 44 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Usually Jan is better than Feb but then sometimes Feb can be better than Jan. Depends on the year as too how much it snows buy even a rubbish year in Hokkaido will still mean far more snow than pretty much anywhere ese on rhe planet. Just go either month you will be ok.

seemore 66 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 History shows but some times it snows sometimes it doesnt Feb is Cheaper crowds same I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Feb probably more expensive next season as Chinese New Year lands. Link to post Share on other sites
HBee 0 Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 CNY is 19 Feb next year so how will that translate into holidays? One week either side? Currently considering 24 Jan - 7 Feb...will that in theory miss the worst of the Aussie and CNY crowds? Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Probably best to go in August to miss the Aussie crowds . Seriously, those dates look quite good, but you're always at the whim of nature. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I did hear that lots of the Aussie crowds might well be flocking to Mt Granview next season. Link to post Share on other sites
