The 09/10 season has seen bumper snowfalls that has pleased even the most picky of the local powder snobs. Those locals that would “only get out of bed for 20cm or more of fresh” have been getting out of bed early 18 days out of the last 34 days, oh and if they thought 10cm was worthy then an additional 5 days taking it to 23 days out of 34 days or 67% of available days.

With 10 epic days of over 40cm its been a blessed season to date.  Even with the storm cells we have enjoyed clear blue skies and awesome powder.  Rest assured though that most of the Nisade team has been hard at work so we cherish every opportunity we get also, its not all beer and skittles.

The Vale Niseko hosts Niseko’s best après ski experience.

Every Sunday at 3:30pm the Taiko drummers will be out on the après terrace complete with a BBQ by the Vale Bar & Grill, outdoor fires and selection of Japanese beers.

Come get your Niseko post powder kick on!

Niseko’s new ski-in ski-out property The Vale Niseko is less than 2 weeks from its grand opening. NISADE Chairman Jonathan Martin takes you inside the designer lobby and bar area to show you present the final project update on the construction of our flagship Niseko development.

Just days before its official opening, the staff at The Vale Niseko are looking forward to warmly welcoming our first guests to resort on our debut Niseko winter season!!

With construction completed and official handover from the builder to the management company now completed, our staff are busy making the final minor preparations inside our new flagship ski-in ski-out Niseko property.

The super efficient Niseko powder provided a fantastic open day for this years season kick off.

Niseko properties have been blanketed the past week with around two feet of powder - topped off with sunshine and Yen2000 lifts tickets, many a local were grinning ear to ear.

Niseko accommodation in peak season is looking very close to full in many parts of the village. This season looks set to be a blinder with at least three new bars opening in the top village, two new apartment complexes and a host of new guest services.
