The Daily Flake
The Daily Flake is your window into Japan's incredible winter. These video reports will be updated daily throughout the ski season so you can check out conditions at a range of different Japanese resorts. Just like a snowflake, no two reports are ever the same so make sure you keep coming back and having a look!
Niseko snow
Niseko is internationally renowned for its consistently good falls of the lightest powder snow and its long ski season which runs from late November until early May. The snow is light, dry, 'champagne' powder snow and the volume is high, with the average snow depth in March reaching 351 cm.
Niseko Location
Because of its northern location, Niseko is fed more by weather fronts that come from Siberia rather than from Eastern Japan. Although all of Japan, especially the west coast of the main island, experiences northwest-to-southeast Siberian winds in the winter, it is Hokkaido that receives the highest volume of snowfall.
