| Great Powder |
The whole resort is well set up and easy to move through out the whole Niseko United Ski Area.
The way the gates are set up for the off piste runs is really good if the gates are open get out there (Still take care) and if they are closed then it is for good reason.
Night skiing is also really good with such a large ski area lit up.
This trip is the 3rd time I have been to Niseko and will |

| Spectacular views from Niseko |
I was expecting to have a deep powder experience during my first ski trip to Hokkaido, but little snow fell during my 4 day visit. It's kind of ironic that Kanto got walloped while I was up north. Nevertheless, the snow was good and the weather mostly clear.
The scenery was great. Ezo Fuji is a gorgeous volcano and the plume of steam rising from Showa Unzen was clearly visible, as was the Sea of Japan.

| Niseko Village Ski Resort review by James McLean |
This past trip was my third trip in as many years. The snow is very dry and deep and consistent. Skiing at Christmas (early season) is a bit of a gamble but I would put my money on Niseko over any other place in the world to have good snow at that time of year. This year was especially awesome, with already about a 2 meter base in the village, and fresh snow almost every day.

There were eight adults in our group from Australia. We chose to stay in comfortable apartment-style accommodation (Casi67). We have all skied previously in Australia, NZ, Canada, USA, Austria, Poland and Switzerland. This was our first trip to Japan.
The instructions for transfers were accurate and easy to follow. The transfer to Casi67 was prompt and straightforward. On arrival we felt welcomed and the apartment was immaculate. The property is new and comfortable with all amenities. The towels and sheets were |

See my feedback for Niseko Hirafu.
As part of overall Niseko United Area, Higishiyama was excellent with long, consistent gradient runs and wicked natural half pipes bowling through the trees.
Was generally quieter than Hirafu on the slopes. Onsen at Prince Hotel was a bit of a rip-off, if I pay 1000yen, I'd much rather see naked women than unabashed Japanese men towel flicking each other on the bare rump!
For the riding, I loved working on my speed turns and |

Hirafu would've been better as even when it's sunny the sun doesn't touch many of the slopes.
Whichever of the three connected resorts you stay at head straight to the top of the mountain first thing in the morning for the best snow.
80% of lifts were open at this time |

| Niseko Village review by eagle |
Back in Niseko after two years. Fond memories were somewhat disappointed. It is still a very pleasant place to be (especially on sunny days with lots of fresh powder), but has its downsides.
The ongoing separation between the various "resorts" on the mountain is hilarious. A lot of lifts are in need of upgrading. The whole place has an air of stinginess. The schedule of the shuttle bus is a joke: 90 minutes on average. The grooming of the slopes |

If this hotel/resort is considered 5 star; then I feel it's overated. Great ski in/out facilities, but get across to other slopes is a hassle coz of the infrequent bus services.
Whilst the food in this resort is good but it's over priced; one can get just as good or better food over in Hirafu village.
I will stay there the next time for sure |

In terms of snow quality/food I'll give this area a 5*. 2 things prompt me to mark it down to 4*. With snow falling all the time, and the occasional strong wind, visibility is not terribly good. Out of the 3 days we were there, I think we've seen no more than 20 min. of the sun and that is very different from west coast North America.
Seems this is the norm for Hokkaido winter as I have been monitoring |

Like everyone else, this is awesome because of the arid powder. During my week it was above the knee.
Not crowded - actually I have yet to ski anywhere crowded in Japan.
Stayed at the Prince - extremely convenient.
I am not sure about the Apres scene, we went to a couple of Restaurants in Niseko - they were friendly but quite.
We went in a big group during Feb.
The views on the one clear day were unbelieveable - |

I don't care what you read this place rocks!
I have been to the New Prince Higashiyama hotel 3 times. The last time I went was a little disappointing, no, very disappointing!
UNTIL the last day. It dumped about 60cm of new powder on the entire mountain overnight leaving the best conditions you could hope for. Knee to waist deep powder everywhere!
Not just on the powder runs! Bring a big board and soak it up. Sweet sweet sweet. Try it |
