obento 0 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 can someone give me an idea what niseko hirafu is like really early in the season? (from the opening date to mid december) is there a decent base of snow? are all the lifts running? is it snowing all the time, or does the sun come out on occasion? and the temperature gets pretty cold then? im just trying to form an image in my head so i know what to pack THANK YOU Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 I think I'm right in saying this, correct me if I'm wrong niseko-folks...it should be ok, really depends on the year. honest. But you've got as good a chance of decent snow there as anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
talisker 0 Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 depends on the year but the first week is usually the upper part of the mountain only - you are supposed to take the lift down bt usually you just dodge past patrol and tuck in... Last year the snow was late.... God knows how this year will be.... Link to post Share on other sites
Lama 0 Posted October 6, 2002 Share Posted October 6, 2002 Have been there in early dec. a few seasons ago and i was pretty impressed. only the front of the mountain was open, up to 6c, and hanozono was closed till around mid dec. i think. but sure... give it a go! Link to post Share on other sites
