A sad day in Niseko!
Today in Niseko Abu - Cha bakery baked its last chocolate croissant for the season! In true Abu - Cha style they went out with a perfectly baked assortment of bakery goodness! If you are still in town the restaurant is open till mid april! They will celebrate with a half price night in the restaurant as well, you will have to visit Abu - Cha for more details.
Out of respect for everyone that visited and worked in Niseko this season, the members of Niseko Webzine exhausted all efforts to stuff ourselves to the point of not being able to walk for the remainder of the day!
All we can say is, damn it was good! It was well and truly worth spending the day on the couch out of respect to everyone!
See you next season Abu - Cha!

Jam Bar & Mina Mina = Jamina
Need something to fill in the 31st of March? Check out the two coolest bars in town for the event of the season! Jamina!
One fee of 1500yen for all you can drink at either bar! The cost of the ticket also lets you check out some live DJs!
Start the night off at Mina Mina and then move onto to Jam Bar to pay your farewell respects to the old Jam Bar and toast the arrival of the new Jam Bar for next season! Yep that is what we said, the current Jam Bar will undergo a face lift over the summer and be bigger (not to big) and better then ever ready for you to get down with the best pizza in town!
See you at Jamina!

Niseko Night Sessions
We have found a lot of people ask us when and where we like to go riding? When we answer, people seemed shocked and dismayed that we like to lurk in the shadows of the trees after hours! Well not after the resort has closed, but after the normally accepted times that people spend on the mountain in the rest of the world – night sessions!
When you mention night skiing to the majority of the snow junkie enthusiasts people automatically imagine a skiable area of maybe one or two runs that have poor lighting covering terrain that is as interesting as listening to your grandfather talk about mowing the lawn on the weekend! Not here in Niseko!
With a vast amount of terrain open to riding across the Grand Hirafu (highest point of access for night sessions is just over 1000m of altitude!), Higashiyama and Annupuri areas it is surprising so many visitors to Niseko don’t pucker up and venture out into the darkness to get amongst the night powder sessions.
If you are feeling imaginative you will be surprised at how many areas have enough light for you to ride in. Add in a full moon you have what we call the “Blair Witch Project” factor! If you haven’t seen the movie “Blair Witch Project” get with the program and go and get it from your local video store, you will get the idea!
Next time you are planning on heading out for dinner or going for a few drinks in Niseko, just think for a moment, what would the Niseko Webzine be doing right now? Where would they be riding? I wonder if they are getting sick photos? Are they balls deep or even nipple deep in powder right now? Well no matter what your question, consider going for a night session while in Niseko, you will enjoy the uncrowded slopes and epic times you and your friends and family will have jibbing around on the beginner slopes or being deep into the world famous Niseko powder!
You can always go out drinking at home after all!
