Same, going Hirafu. 2 days time looks good leh, the forecast is snow for the weekend all the way til tuesday. https://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Niseko/6day/mid

Yea lucky there’s a fresh batch of snow this wk.
when I saw the forecast last wk it was showing no snow for this wk and was alr 2wks of minimal to no snow. Then for a day the forecast changed to rain. Hope this is gd enough

Just came back from Hirafu/Niseko, only had 4 ski days 17-20 Mar. Really crazy mix of all types of conditions. Had bluebird day with great spring snow at the top of the mountain and extremely slushy and heavy at the base. Had snow & fog day where can barely make out the orange markers/sticks at the side of the piste. Had a day where somehow the entire top was just sugar on ice. Surprisingly the two kids in my group (11 and 6) adapted like champs, meanwhile old man mid-40's me had serious trouble adapting to the slush at base.

Kiddo making good progress at 6 years old i suppose (2nd season)

Wow sounds tough. Really at the mercy of weather
