Getting to Hokkaido [to ski] from China

Quote: I will have more trips planned out this year, probably in the off-peak times so I don't have to deal with paying for expensive weekend flights.
Besides January (2014) I went again in April. It was the very tail end of the season but there was a mini-storm on April 6th, if you can believe it. Amazing. Actually Niseko opens again at the end of April for one last hurrah (and for the golden week holidays in Japan).

In April the hotel was very empty, and airfare much cheaper. However, the downside is many of the restaurants are closed. I suspect that March would be ideal.

I already make two trips up to Niseko and now I'm planning for a third.

Everything has been absolutely terrific minus finding cheap airfare. It's kind of my fault for booking so late around Chinese New Year. I will be teaching my girlfriend this time around, so it'll be fun.
