After 10 nights at the Hilton Niseko Village, we skied one last morning before returning our skis to Village Sports. We took a bus to Sapporo where we checked into the ANA Crowne Plaza, walked around the city, and had dinner.

Niseko to Sapporo

After ten nights at the Hilton Niseko Village, we had our last breakfast at the property and headed out to ski one last time. After draining our last 12 point passes on the Banzai Chair, we returned our skis to Village Sports and returned to our room to clean up, pack, and check out. We then took a bus to Sapporo where we checked into the ANA Crowne Plaza, walked around the city a bit, and had dinner at Sapporo Kanihonke.

After New Year's Day, we've spent 7 of the last 8 days skiing here at Niseko Village and the adjacent Grand Hirafu. We've experienced quite a variety of conditions as well as a bit of the region's famous Japow.

We've been staying at the Hilton Niseko Village since arriving on New Year's Eve. Other than skiing, we've done a tiny bit of exploring in the area and have had some food from restaurants nearby as well as various snacks from the konbinis here.

After breakfast @ ANA Crowne Plaza Chitose, we took a bus to the Hilton Niseko Village. We checked in, walked around, got our rental skis, & had dinner. At night, we saw a taiko performance and fireworks at midnight for the new year.

Yesterday afternoon, we had the longest period of snowless weather that we've experienced so far since arriving at the Hilton Niseko Village on the last day of 2024. This morning, it started snowing quite hard! We headed out around Niseko Village's 8:30am opening time and enjoyed skiing as well as the beautiful snow covered trees.

On our 6th day at Niseko, we finally saw a cloudless Mount Yotei! The clouds actually cleared while we were returning to the Hilton Niseko Village on the Niseko Village shuttle bus. Once we got to the Hilton, we rushed to get a photo as the weather here changes quite rapidly! It turns out the far end of the parking lot is pretty good for an outdoor location on foot.

After seeing Mount Yotei from breakfast at the Hilton Niseko Village, we took the gondola up and were treated to this beautiful view! This is the same view we would have had for Hatsuhinode if the weather had cooperated that morning!
