5 reasons why we love spring skiing & snowboarding
Spring is just around the corner and the temperature is rising day by day. But the winter season in Niseko is not over yet! Let's make the most of the rest of the season with spring skiing!
１．Great Deals
The cost of lodging and lift tickets start to go way down. One of the best deals of the year begins to show up. During the peak season, lift tickets are ¥5,200 (adult, 5-hour pass for Hanazono/Hirafu), but this season they are ¥3,700, a savings of ¥1,500.
２．Empty slopes
In previous years, many tourists from Japan and abroad have visited Niseko. However, this season, due to the coronavirus, there are almost no tourists from outside Japan and you will be surprized with the empty slopes and restaurants. In the spring season, the number of tourists decreases, so you may find the slopes even more spacious. It's just like your private slope! No waiting for lifts, no stress. Perfect for beginners to practice.
３．Brilliant sunshine
Spring has long hours of sunshine and many sunny days. The intensity of the light that’s so wonderful when the sun does come out. By spring, there’s still a chance for a powder day, but more likely to blue skies. Combine warm days with overnight lows below freezing, and you’re pretty much guaranteed soft snow. You may get sunburned by the strong sun, so we recommend wearing sunscreen and goggles/sunglasses.
４．Easy travel
During the peak season, it's great for skiing with a lot of snow, but it's not easy to get around. Driving in a whiteout or slippery road is just terrifying. You might fall down on the road. But, in the spring, the snow on the roads melts, so you will be safe outside!
５．Best views
The magnificent Mt. Yotei, Niseko mountain ranges, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful here. Take some pictures to post on social media! If you're lucky enogh, you may see a wonderful view of the sea of clouds.
What's good about Hanazono!?
Good snow conditions!?
Hanazono Niseko is the most north-eastern resort of Mt. Annupuri and the snow does not melt too much even during the day. You have more chances to enjoy good snow than any other ski resort in the Niseko area!
