The Niseko United Trail map has been released for the coming winter, check it out here.

Here in Niseko the changing of the seasons are always welcomed including Autumn who's rich colours mark cooler days to come. Even early in October these colours are punctuated by a dusting of snow amongst the tops.

One of the few things that can ruin a good day on the slopes is getting getting cold and having to retreat to the cafe in defeat. Conversely, being that stinky guy sweating and panting in the lift line isn’t ideal either. Properly regulating your body heat is one of the keys to enjoying a great day on the hill. Niseko temperatures are usually below zero dressing right is essential.
