Take a moment to enjoy the last of the season's snow
Despite the snow having virtually disappeared at the base level, there is still just over 2 meters of snow at the peak of Grand Hirafu. This means that spring skiing and snowboarding are still in full swing at Grand Hirafu.
The lifts are expected to remain operational until Sunday, May 7th, allowing for a fun-filled golden week in the snow. Ki Niseko is conveniently located in close proximity to the Hirafu Gondola, which offers direct access to the open runs at the top of the resort.

Ki Niseko Summer Season
After golden week ends on Friday 5 May, Ki Niseko will close for hotel maintenance between Saturday 6 May and Wednesday 14 June to prepare for the exciting summer season.
If you're looking to experience the breathtaking greenery of Niseko, indulge in summer activities such as hiking and rafting, or witness the highly anticipated return of exciting summer events like the Niseko Classic cycling race, we'll eagerly await your arrival as we reopen on Thursday 15 June.
