Night Skiing Open for Winter 2018/19

13 December, 2018 Victoria Yap

Ski under the lights in Niseko with night skiing now open for the winter ski season.

Niseko's slopes lit up for the first time this season on Tuesday 11th, December, marking the beginning of night skiing for Winter 2018/19. Extend your time on the slopes with night skiing in Niseko, check out our video below. 

With the mountain lit up with powerful floodlights, hitting the slopes after dark adds a magical touch to skiing; not to mention the view of Hirafu village from the mountain is stunning. With less people and more time, practice your turns and add a few more runs. Night skiing also opens up options for other activities during the day including snowshoeing or snowmobiling tours.
