Niseko during xmas

Hi mate, I have been there around the same time and I don't recall how busy it was. Generally less Aussies/Westerners during Christmas, maybe more locals.

As far as snow, there will be more than enough for a good time. As to whether you will get any descent dumps is a crap shoot. Sometimes December goes off it's nut, other times it can be slow and a bit drizzly on occassion.

Well thats my observations anyway.:)

Last year was my first year in Niseko, and from memory there was more locals/season staff around Xmas time, not a great deal of tourists by memory though =S. In terms of snow there was a lot to go around, more then enough actually!
