Adequate snow - check forecasts before booking.
Niseko Village's Snow Sure Score of 42/100 indicates fair conditions primarily due to a current snow depth of 42cm at both the base and summit, which is below optimal levels for early season skiing. The recent snowfall of only 1.12cm in the past 24 hours, combined with a modest 21.28cm over the last week, suggests limited fresh powder, while the forecasted average of 38.2cm over the next two weeks offers potential for improvement. Visitors can expect decent skiing conditions, but should remain mindful of the relatively low snow totals compared to historical averages.

Overall, conditions are favorable for skiing and snowboarding, with regular fresh snow maintaining quality on the runs.
