Feb 2023, 8 day visit. Expect weather and visibility issues. Stayed on the runs because of my visibility vertigo. I was told not to expect bluebird days in Niseko. Got fresh snow everyday, not huge amounts, but a few inches. I experienced mixed snow conditions, from powder to ice. The lifts really need to be updated. Slow or closed lifts appear to be commonplace because of wind. With limited lower lifts open, it's not worth the effort on these days, everyone trying to get to an adjacent resort (Hanazono's newer gondola), huge bus queue, little to no info from the resorts on lift status. The Hilton is great, but isolated. I used the shuttles and buses frequently.
