The peak powder season has come to an end, which means that our epic spring season has begun. Niseko’s spring is not to be missed with temperatures slowly starting to warm up, and blue skies and sunshine a regular feature.

The warmer, sunnier days are great for kids and families – the holiday crowds start to die down a little which means fewer people on the slopes. With resort-wide discounts and amazing weather you’re in for an unforgettable skiing experience.

Let’s Start With The Discounts!

Spring is like the bargain sale season for skiing in Niseko. From accommodation to lift passes, prices are lower across the resort. Here are a few that you won’t want to miss.

Alpine-Style Skiing & Jaw-Dropping Views

With more sunny days, there are plenty of classic alpine-style skiing opportunities. The colder temperatures at high altitudes keep the snow in amazing condition above the treeline. It’s perfect for those who want to enjoy wide-open glades.

One of the characteristics that makes Niseko special and distinct from other resorts all around the world is the picturesque view of Mt Yotei. Spring is the time when its transcendent beauty can regularly be seen against the bluest of skies all around Niseko.

Spring Terrain Parks

Spring is a great time for freestyle skiers with two parks to choose from.

Hanazono’s famous terrain parks and features will be open until April 7th (may change due to weather conditions).

Meanwhile Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu will open its Spring Park from the beginning of April. High up on the slopes where the snowpack is still deep, the park will feature rails, kickers, boxes and a wave zone. The Spring Park will be located within the Shirakaba course, accessible from the King Hooded Quad Lift #3. (There may be changes due to the snow conditions).
