So we are off to Niseko on 15th Jan next year for about a week with two older teenage boys. This will be my first time there and indeed my first time skiing outside of Australia. I'd be grateful if those in the know could share a few tips. Weather So what's minus really like and what clothing is necessary other than the obvious i. Ski hire We don't have our own ski's and were looking to hire through the company that got us accommodation as they apparently have reduced rates. Does it really matter where you hire from? Ski Type Someone said fat skis. Is this a must? Doesnt everyone use fat skis? Sounds like a good idea? Any recommendations? Food I only recently learned that Japanese food is regional. I thought I'd be enjoying sushi but apparently Niseko is in Ramen region. Someone suggested the best Ramen place is up the hill a bit below a souvenir shop? Anyone know of this one and what it might be called? I'm sure they have burger and pizza joints but that's something I'd prefer to avoid. And is there really vending machines everywhere including hot chocolate in a can? Transport We will take the bus there but as our flight from Sapporo is 4pm on the way out, I was thinking heading off early by train and maybe stopping into sapporo for lunch and a bit of sightseeing before going further to the airport. Anyone done something like that? Slip sliding away Is walking around the streets at night really icy and treacherous? Money I've heard its mostly a cash only place but are the number of ATMs really limited? Should one get most of the cash at the airport on the way in? Language I've got Konichiwa, Arigato and Sayonara down pat. I'll work on some more Anything else Any other tips that may help please? Thanks heaps Jul 31, 32, 35, 1, Sydney. So many questions! I'll deal with the ones I remember. In terms of clothing I've found one extra layer over what I would wear on an average day in Australia works. That might simply mean doubling up on base layers, or wearing a fleece vest under an insulated jacket. Doubling up on base layers works best for me under insulated clothing. If wearing uninsulated gear a base and mid layer works fine but a wear a long sleeve fleece rather than a vest, for instance. There's a wide range of Japanese food and it's not just Ramen. I haven't noticed a profound difference in the food at Niseko over other Japanese resorts. All your favourites will be available somewhere. A guide is fine or a private or a series of group lessons if your family is of mixed ability. I'd suggest that as some of the better skiing is off the groomed and it would be better to have some expert knowledge on your side as you explore it. Cash is predominant although there are a few ATM's Kutchan post office, a couple of convenience stores - forgot which. Bring enough in cash to tide you over at least a few days but you can too up with a modicum of inconvenience while there. In terms of skis the widest I've used were 78mm in and I enjoyed it but they were considered narrow then and ski fashion is wider now. If you plan to ski off piste it's sensible to suggest go wider but a lot depends on preference and how you like to ski powder. Jun 2, 1, 1, Transport If booking through a company, they will prob have it sorted, remember transfers can take extra time if snowed lots Slips. Mercyrx3 Addicted. Aug 28, Melbourne. First day A guide or a local will do. Food Almost anything you can think of is available in Niseko. There is a good local guide which lists almost all. I've never taken special shoes. Get to KVB Kunlun and exchange at a good rate if you can. Language Language isn't a problem in Niseko, but Japanese people really seem to appreciate the effort when you try to speak even a little Japanese. Try and listen to some native speakers. I really hate hearing a bogan sounding Ahhreegahtoe Anything else Just have fun!!!! Jun 2, 2, central coast. I avoid January, so I'm only guessing the small restaurants will be fully booked each night. Small to medium business's only take cash. Take a daytrip to Rusutsu. Last edited: Aug 4, Olgreg One of Us Ski Pass. May 21, 2, 4, Dolans Bay. The ramen place is Tozanko half way up the hill. Excellent, loud, cheap and quick but get there early or be prepared to line up. Niseko Ramen down the hill a bit is also great. But there are so many options you will just scratch the surface. I agree with all the other advice. Rhythm seems t have the biggest range of skis, and will swap them so you can try different widths. I reckon around waist works best. A guide?? First time I went I did a private lesson each morning and he showed me not only how to ski deep powder but a few in bounds tree runs I might not have found myself. I have gone regularly in January and most days have been powder days. Click to expand In my two trips across 6 weeks I can't recall any days the mountain was closed. It certainly wasn't common. Reactions: Vermillion. LMB Old but definitely not Crusty! May 6, 42, 58, 1, Perth. Most days are absolutely skiable. Tip: unless you are big time sure you will want to be across the entire Niseko united every day it can be worth buying a Grand Hirafu Pass Hirafu and Hanazono and then getting an all mountain points pass and wrapping it in foil in another pocket in case you end up in Higashiyama or Annapuri. The lady at the ticket office will even foil it for you. Getting top lifts open to access the other areas can be hit and miss. I have been there for 2 weeks where top lifts were running only on a handful of days. Other advice above is good. Bookings will be tough at that time of year If you do the premium ski hire at Rhythm they are happy for you to come in and swap them over at any time. You don't NEED a guide, but having someone who knows the mountain show you around saves wasted ski time. Lesson, guide, rent-a-friend Heinz Travelling again Ski Pass. Oct 14, 31, 23, 1, Adelaide. Won't repeat what others have said - all seemed fine. Clothing - make sure you have some form of face covering for those cold windy days and a spare pair of goggles is handy if you have a few powder falls. Sapporo - I don't recall specifically but I would think there would be lockers somewhere in Sapporo station to store gear. As you have skis this should be easier. In Sapporo you can either walk around above ground or via the very extensive underground arcades esp if weather is bad. Vermillion Pool Room. Wake early. Get bus to Hanazono. Ski for about 30mins before the bogans come over. Or get a car and drive yourself over. Alternatively, stay in Annapuri and get the morning and afternoon to yourself. Give night skiing a go. Powder shots at 8pm is something you wont get to experience at many other places around the world, you wont forgot that for a long time. For clothing, I wore a fleece jumper on top of the normal gear I wear. I dont wear a helmet, and I dont wear thermals. I sweat a lot though, so my clothing recommendations probably should be taken with a grain of salt. I just wore a beanie and pulled my hood over if it go too cold, but there are enough hooded chairs and gondolas in Niseko to help you out. To be honest the coldest body part I had in Niseko was my feet and that was because there was so much deep fresh snow my boots spent the majority of their time under snow, freezing them up.

Reactions: StuckinQld. Remember please,two people never made it home. They are no longer with us. Aug 6, 47, 31, 1, Melbourne, Australia. We were advised the best Ramen place was imaginatively called Niseko Ramen, as mentioned by Olgreg. Ate there and it was certainly very good. No bookings, rock up and queue. Earlier the better. Re: night skiing - be prepared to rug up, even if it isn't windy. As said above, the international ATM is in the Shiki building, but that's about m from the main stop in town, not tough to find. Anywhere that seems at least partially Western will accept a credit card, but the smaller and more authentically Japanese you get, the more cash is king. As for fat skis, if you're just skiing the groomers you can get by just fine with normal skis. The more you venture off the groomed or if you're there for a big dump the more value wider skis represent. You're not going to need something real narrow underfoot though, the amount of ice and hardpack is minimal. Vis up the top of the mountain can be variable, so low-light lens for your goggles will be very helpful. Jun 3, 1, 1, Melbourne. Went to Niseko for 10 days. Everything above is correct: Clothing: Take 1 extra mid layer and make sure you have something to cover your face and exposed skin. There are some distinct weather zones on the mountain. I was dubious before I got there but if you go up the top it can get very cold. If you stay around the mid level on the mountain you'll be fine. Using the Gondolas on super cold days will help keep you warm but the best snow we found was at the top. There are a number of small cafe's on the mountain to drop in and warm up. That said, we didn't really get cold days and mostly had bluebird days. Lenses for low light are a good idea, when it did snow, the light was very flat. Ski hire: If you're going through the gates most of the time off piste areas and back country then rent some fat skis, otherwise your run of the mill hire skis are fine. They groom quite a large area of the trails. He's a low level Advanced skier. Guide: I would only bother if you intended on going through the gates and back country. You can do a lot of side country through the gates without a guide, skiing within easy sight of the resort and access lifts. There are so many restaurants and Ramen houses there you won't be able to go to even half of them. We didn't find a bad one and we ate out every night and for lunch. Niseko Ramen is a great place to start though. It's a bit cheaper than in Oz. There is Western food restaurants but you may as well eat local. Given the amount of snow and temps the streets can be VERY icy and slippery, just like any resort. We honestly had trouble finding genuine Japanese in Niseko other than core service providers, police, council workers, etc There are so many Australian, Kiwis and Canadian tourists or people working there it was a bit embarrassing but can be a nice easy foray into Japan as a first trip. When you do find a Japanese person, a genuine attempt at some local language goes a long way. I almost forgot, the hike up to the top is worth the view if it's a clear day. The one-seater duplex bucket chair Wonderland with no safety chain at the top of the Niseko Village area is an experience. Crispy One of Us Ski Pass. Reactions: peteski , Presto and nfip. Jun 7, 2, 1, Newcastle. Parrot perch. Hike to the top is worth it for sure! Nov 30, 1, Sydney, NSW. Thanks for all this stuff. I hope it helps other first timers. I had one more question re: ski gear. Are there ski gear shops with big ranges of stuff and how do the prices compare to Australia? I just screwed some short thread high width knob head screws into my tread on my boots. Cost sixty cents from bunnings. There's about dozen or so ski shops in Niseko. I did a cursory look in a few of them but didn't really check the prices. If you want big ranges, try Tokyo. It will blow your mind. Most of the stores have 5 to 6 floors stocked full of ski gear. I spent a full day browsing the stores they're nearly all in the same locations and still didn't go to all of the shops. As for prices, marginally better than Australia but not as cheap as online bargains at least for the high end stuff. It depends what you are after though. There are plenty of bargains to be had if that's what you're looking for. Once upon a time real deals were available down the road at Kutchan with generous stock. Those days have long gone. Maybe Sapporo would have cheap gear? Not sure. Rhythm Snow Sports Niseko is probably the biggest in Niseko. The 3 places listed above are in the Grand Hirafu region which is the main town. You haven't specified where you are staying, so I assume you are in this area? If not, it's a short bus ride from the other areas. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads N.

Niseko buying blow

Niseko property is experiencing a big growth boom with investment pouring into the resort. With one of the longest ski seasons in the world, and a yearly snowfall between November and April of over 15 metres this is a snow-sure resort which is famous for its quality powder skiing through tree lined runs and incredible open powder bowls. Also, because off-piste and back-country skiing is permitted, it opens up a vast terrain for intrepid powder skiers and boarders. An added bonus is that many ski runs are open until 8. Niseko is located in the northern island of Japan, Hokkaido. The resort itself lies at the foot of the dormant volcano Mount Yotei, but the skiing centre of Niseko is to the west of Mount Yotei, on the slopes of Mount Annupuri. Niseko gets a HUGE volume of snow in one season. There is an explanation for the volume of snow. The winds coming from the land mass of Siberia are cold, dry and persistent. They pick up moisture from the slightly warmer Japanese Sea and this drops as snow on the island of Hokkaido which lies directly in their path. The snowfall and the geography are what make Niseko a fabulous, long season skiing mecca and, whilst holidaymakers from Asia and Australia are regular visitors, it has recently seen an rise in numbers of skiers from around the world. As a result, there has been an explosion of investment into Niseko as developers take advantage of the small amount of land that is available, by building modern luxury accommodation amongst the finest in the world. Recent residential developments are close to the ski lifts and often have protected, awe-inspiring views of Mount Yotei. One of our local developers Hokkaido Tracks wrote the following in their recent Spring update:. With a shortage of premium housing in the Hirafu Village, current property owners are holding firm on their selling prices and are in no rush to sell, causing the Niseko focus to move towards purchasing the limited prime land still available and building your own luxury residence, hotel or condominiums. Some of the new players and projects already committed include:. Niseko Annupuri Residences. Its accessibility has enabled the resort to grow at a steady pace making it a ripe long term investment hot spot for both hotel and property developers alike. You can also take the train from New Chitose Airport to Niseko. The express train is 35 minutes to Sapporo. You then take the train from Sapporo to Otaru which is minutes. Taxi transfer to the Niseko Ski Resort is 15 minutes. Bus transfer is the most convenient and economical way to get from New Chitose Airport to Niseko. The Niseko bus takes about 2. In a grandiose project commenced to develop the bullet-train Shinkansen service connecting the north and south islands of Japan and connecting Tokyo to Sapporo completion The Shinkansen service has currently been extended to Hakkodate on the south coast of Hokkaido, and will eventually stop at Kutchan completion which is the closest station to the Niseko Ski Resort.
