Niseko is going to need a bit more frozen precipitation before the lifts start turning.
The snow is coming (and it will be good), but there is unlikely to be enough to start-up this Saturday.

white season to begin
The lifts start turning on Grand Hirafu next Saturday 20 November, with the other Niseko ski areas expected to open in the following days. In a typical White Season the Niseko lifts operate until the first week in May.
"The Niseko locals have been parking their mountain bikes and golf clubs, waxing their bases and preparing for the first resort guests. A few of the locals have also been climbing the slopes to get their first tracks for the Season," said Ian Farrow, Chairman of Australian Alpine Club Niseko.
As the Niseko lifts start turning, the Australian Alpine Club Niseko e-mail competition will be closing on Saturday at noon Niseko time (2pm AEDST). The prize is a week for two at the lodge in either the 2010/11 Season or the 2011/12 Season. Details here.
Bookings are well underway and there is some space available at the Australian Alpine Club Niseko lodge for this White Season, including for commercial guests. For more information, see http://www.aacniseko.com/ or contact Mogul Ski World on 1800 335 724 for details.
