Where can I ski in Hokkaido in late November for a first-time visitor?
Snow usually starts falling in northern Hokkaido from October, but ski resorts often open in late November—check snow conditions before planning your trip.

Hokkaido is huge, so I can’t guarantee there’ll be snow everywhere, but in northern Hokkaido, snow usually starts falling around October. By November, you can expect to see snow even in cities like Sapporo. However, if you’re planning to ski, you’ll need a lot of snow, so ski resorts might not be fully open by the end of November. Typically, though, some resorts are likely to have snow, so it’s worth checking ahead. Skiing can be pretty challenging, so if it’s your first time, it might be a good idea to take a lesson.
These ski resorts are often open from late November. However, the exact dates can change each year depending on the snow conditions, so please make sure to check for yourself.
