About the Mountain

WHY SKI HERE?

Niseko United is a collection of four ski resorts – Grand Hirafu, Niseko Village, Hanazono, and Annupurri – all situated on the same volcano, known for its heavy accumulations of fluffy, dry powder. While most of Niseko is more deep than steep, you can still get some advanced runs in off the Niseko Village gondola.

“Skiing is the best way in the world to waste time.”

- Glen Plake

While it’s tempting to hit the sake and sushi as soon as you leave the slopes, make sure to carve out some evenings for night skiing. It’s increasingly rare for resorts to stay open after sundown, but Grand Hirafu does it every night.
