The snow is coming… and then it’s here!

The biggest snowfall of the season so far has blanketed us in Niseko and is still coming down! We have high hopes of it boxing us in for a while! The Niseko forecast looks good this week and we will let you know when our lift system starts running!

Avalanche course! If you have not done this already and have the love for backcountry, this is a good time to sign up for an avalanche awareness course in Niseko to get some hands on experience. Already got the skills? You can never have enough beacon practice and it’s always nice to make sure your gear is functioning correctly. Pack your probes, shovel and make sure it’s all in order for the many days in the backcountry. Get outside and hide your beacon for your riding buddy to find. Prepare your crew and yourself for a snowy snowy winter! Holiday Niseko

Wait another week…

THINK SNOW SNOW LIGHT & FLUFFY HOKKAIDO JAPAN SNOW! WE HAVE HIGH HOPES OF NISEKO SWITCHING ON THE LIFTS BY THE 27TH NOV! CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND HOPE FOR POWDER BY THE END OF THIS WEEK! WE ARE BUSY-FILLING UP WITH BOOKINGS AND WE ARE READY FOR THE SNOW TO FLY! CHECK OUT OUR HOLIDAY NISEKO YOUTUBE PAGE/COLLAGE OF SNOWY FLICKS TO GET YOU STOKED ON THIS UP-COMING SEASON!

Last season East coast USA Flow snowboards+Sessions+Skullcandy rider Tim Humphreys and photographer Rami Hanafi got some great days in Niseko that scored the cover of the Transworld Snowboarding December 2010 issue with a beauty photo dropping in on the avalanche barriers of Nakayama pass. Tim raps a bit about his thoughts on Hokkaido and getting camera lucky. What a rad cover! Holiday Niseko
