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.
