Day One, Done!

05 December, 2019 Evan Johnson

We joined the many excited Niseko visitors and locals and hit up the first chairlifts for Winter 2019/20.

Niseko Grand Hirafu opened today for 2019/20 and we were there to join in on the fun as the first chairlifts started spinning. The Ace Pair #3 and the Family Quad were running and Niseko lovers were sharing pockets of early season powder, thanks to the 50cm+ of fresh fluffy snow we've received over the last three days alone.

Evan came to Niseko for a ski season in 2015/16 and worked for Niseko Central as a Guest Host. One season wasn't enough though, and now he's back to stay year round! The snowboarding, dining and golfing were simply too good for him to want to live anywhere else...
