Good morning from Hirafu and welcome back to the Niseko Now reports.


We have had some fine and rather warm weather conditions over the last few days here, but this morning it is a cloudy start to the day.


Hopefully we might get to see sunnier conditions later on in the day today and tomorrow as well, though it looks like it should remain fairly chilly.


Looks like rain is due as we enter next week but some snowfall likely mixed in there as well at least in higher elevations. Fingers crossed!


Winter season preparations continue apace. Sometimes with all the seemingly last minute panic before things open for winter, you wonder if folk somehow forget when winter is due to start and they are somehow surprised when it starts creeping up on them! Then again, there's always things to do that pop up though... good luck everyone - we need everything to be ready when those lifts start!


Have a good weekend and see you soon.


Planned opening dates for the Niseko resorts:


Niseko Grand Hirafu: Saturday 21st November

Niseko Annupuri: Saturday 28th November

Niseko Village: Tuesday 1st December

Niseko HANAZONO: Saturday 5th December


Nighta should be starting on Saturday 12th December
