Intrepid locals took to the slopes for an exceedingly early pre-season shred as Niseko enjoyed another week of amazing powder snow.
The influx of snow seems to have spurred on some hurried repatriation, with many locally-based foreign companies and businesses settling back in, bringing a bit of bustle back to what was seemingly recently a sleepy summer town.
