Niseko - First Time With "Bad Snow"

We visited Niseko, Japan for a ski and snowboard trip for the first time in February 2020. Japan is known for incredible amounts of deep powder snow. But when we arrived, everyone said that they did not have as much snow as normal. Despite this, the snow was great. It was the best that we could have hoped for on a vacation in North America or Europe. We will definitely return to experience the legendary Japan powder! We stayed at the Ki Niseko. We previously planned to visit Niseko in 2019 but had to cancel due to work issues. We had pre-paid with the Ki, and they were kind enough to work with us in light of the unforeseen problems. So we greatly appreciated the flexibility, which we did not receive from the Westin in Rusutsu, a much larger hotel. The Ki was great. Pleasant service and unbeatable location and accommodations. Niseko has four bases. Hanazono, Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village, and Annupuri. The terrain of Annupuri may be best for beginners and those who love wide open slopes. Hanazono has more to offer for intermediates and experts. And Niseko Village and Grand Hirafu seem fit for all. Grand Hirafu may have the best in terms of night life because it has a much more developed town. Niseko had a lot of unique features, which we will highlight in our next video!
