When it comes to skiing and snowboarding, everyone aims to be the one out catching the first chair, so why wouldn’t that same mentality apply to booking your holiday?
Booking your trip in advance comes with a bunch of pretty amazing perks, from early bird sales offering discounted lift passes and the best accommodation for a fraction of the price, to huge deals on rentals and lessons. So if you missed out on shredding JaPow last winter and don’t want to make the same mistake again, there’s no better time to start booking your end-of-year ski trip than now.
Why Book Early?
Your Pick of Accommodation
Securing accommodation in Niseko can be quite difficult, especially during peak season when tourist demand is at an all time high. By booking early and taking advantage of early bird sales, you’ll find that a lot of the central accommodation options that would normally be booked up for winter will still have availabilities. Plus, a lot of hotels and accommodations also do early-bird deals, so make sure you keep an eye out for a good price!
Secure Rentals Before Peak Season Demand
Everyone knows the feeling of rocking up to a rental store during peak season to find out that the model you’d planned on skiing has already been rented out. Secure your rentals months in advance with early bird sales and avoid the same happening this upcoming winter.
Cheaper
By booking early you’ll not only secure your rentals and lessons for 20% off thanks to our huge early bird sales, you’ll also find that both flights and lift passes are significantly cheaper, meaning you can vacation in Niseko for a fraction of the cost if you act early.
Book Now, Spend Later
Don’t spend the months leading up to your holiday book accommodation, flights and rentals and stressing about spending money. Secure everything you need now so that all you have to worry about over the coming months is saving so that you can live large in Niseko.
Our Sweet Deals
Take advantage of our exclusive early bird sales and receive 20% off your premium lesson and guiding services when you book for three days or more. Even better, you’ll also score 20% off on all rentals! Book early and secure the best gear and the best instructors and guides before the rush.
