Snowfall in Niseko! October 5 2009, 10:40am via thevaleniseko.com

Snowfall on Niseko!! The first snowfall of the fast approaching 09/10 winter season has arrived. This year’s snow is early; over two weeks earlier than last year when Mt Yotei recieved its first snow on October 21st.  Surely this very early snow is a telling sign of an epic snow season to come. We cant wait for those fresh powder ski runs!!

Niseko’s ski lifts are expected to officially begin running on Saturday November 21st, however with a bit of luck this could be even earlier. Last year the resort opened on Saturday November 22nd.
