I'm looking at Dec 17/Jan 18 and I can't seem to book any day on cash or points.
I'm in the middle of thinking of a not very well thought out Japan trip and falling down a mountain a half world way sounds better than doing so here.
The powder is better in Japan so if you fall you won't feel it (assuming you get powder the weather has been a bit iffy the last few years).
Points rooms seem to open up around April/May. I think they try to sell a lot of wholesale bookings first; remember Niseko United is pretty much fully booked by June. I have met many from USA who were surprised they could not get any accommodation as far as 3 months out, and that includes the most expensive and the cheapest options.
2017 is the first year out of 10 I haven't been to Hilton Niseko, I find Niseko has turned into a bit of a zoo
