Hi everyone,

We're planning our first trip to Niseko and Sapporo Dec 14 - 20.
Anyone know whether there is any snow there this early in the year?
Unfortunately, going at xmas/new year is not an option for us and don't really want to delay the trip until next year.

Would appreciate any tips from fellow members.

Thanks!

This is a million dollar question, from past record, there should be enough snow in mid December, but who knows - global warming :eek:

Thanks. We'll take our chances then. Have you been to Niseko? Is there much to do if skiing conditions are not good? Maybe we'll stay for just 1 or 2 nights...
