This winter saw the introduction of Fubuki, 3 beautiful and modern properties,  to our portfolio of ski chalet's at Niseko Boutiques and it's been chosen by AOL as one fo the top ten brand new ski chalets to vist in the world this year.

Take a look at who made the cut.

Well, as the season opening day approaches, it is a good sign that the temperatures have plummeted overnight and snow is now visible 3/4 of the way down the Niseko-Hirafu pistes.

This coming weekend and into next week should see much greater snowfall all the way to the rice fields below the village which will hopefully give way to the lifts being opened well before the beginning of December.

Fingers crossed!! There are many staff and locals just waiting for the opportunity to bring out their ski/board of choice for their first turns of the season.

Welcome winter 2011/12.
