Spring is wonderful in Niseko. The snowfall starts to slow down and gives way to sunny and clear skies. Fresh top-ups of powder overnight and bright blue skies in the morning are commonplace. The resort is much more relaxed and uncrowded when compared to peak winter.
The crisp and clear weather makes it a perfect time for families to visit compared to the more harsh conditions of deep winter. Relax and take some laps with the kids, or drop them off at ski school and enjoy some turns on your own. If you’re a beginner, then spring is the best pick to take a lesson with one of our ski schools. The mild weather and soft snow create the ideal environment to improve your skills and fall in love with skiing or snowboarding.
Spring is also the best time for backcountry enthusiasts. The mountain peaks are visible and a deep snowpack allows you to explore more. Mild snowfall and less wind create a more friendly snowpack which is optimal for those looking to spend their time enjoying backcountry skiing.
In addition to being more relaxed and less crowded, spring is also more affordable! Accommodation, lift passes, and more are discounted.
Save on Hirafu/Hanazono 1 day lift passes. Buy your lift ticket online and save! This is a huge discount from the regular price. Available until April 3rd, 2022. Check out the details on the table below, or click here to learn more and book!
