Niseko In Spring

We have had a few messages on Twitter ( twitter.com/Nisekowebzine )  in the last few weeks from people wanting to know what Niseko is like in Spring. Well as I was wasting time on YouTube today I found this video from April 2009 of some locals out enjoying some sun and snow. As you can see there is still a base to have a slide on but what most don’t know is the parks are much bigger, they build them up for the Freestyle Camp that is held every year.

One of these bad boys would look fantastic in my garage and would make the drive to Max Value in Kutchan so much more fun! Check out the video! Your Checking A Post From Niseko Webzine.
