Skiing in Hokkaido Niseko-Hirafu International Ski Resort


We took train to Niseko ski resort on 14th Dec. It would be a 5D 4N skiing trip. Riley was looking forward to this skiing trip since the 1st day arriving Hokkaido. We travelled from Hakodate to Niseko Kuchan town. It took us 4 hours+ with 1 transit stop at a small town before reaching Kuchan-Hirafu International Ski Resort, famous of it's powder snow:)










This was the one room apartment that we stayed in for our 4 nights skiing trip in Hirafu ski town. It was clean and nicely decorated. Most importantly, it has big glass windows that allows you to see snow falling all nights :)



All geared up for my very first ski lesson on this International ski ground....wow...I had a personal instructor who came from Australia. However, my 1st lesson was on a "Family Track", which was very challenging for me, a first timer. I couldnt ski with that heavy ski boots on my feet, I lost my balance on those slopes...I almost fainted when I was on a ski lift up the hill....OMG!








My little hero --Riley:)

Hi "Wai See"...
Long time no see : )
How have you been?
(the last time we met was in 2007 at Goodwood Park hotel-u were having high tea)

I like the snowy pictures taken in your blog.

I was in Niseko-kuchan too in 2006. It was crowded with many tourists especially Australian. I prefer Niseko Nikko Anupuri which is least crowded.
Yup, the snow in Hokkaido is "powdery".
I would like to share with you some of my pictures taken then:
