Japan’s 24-25 season is expected to get going this weekend with high-expectations thanks to a La Niña system in The Pacific expected to bring cooler and snowier weather than average. There have already been some good pre-season snowfalls.
Next spring Niseko Village is set to host the Snow Machine Music Festival from March 10th-15th, 2025.
“Skiers and snowboarders will enjoy world-class powder by day and an electrifying lineup of international artists by night,” a resort spokesperson said, adding, “The festival merges skiing with music in a breathtaking alpine setting, offering an unforgettable experience of ‘Après Ski All Day.”
The line-up so far includes acts like Chase & Status, Hot Chip, and Melanie C.
Beyond the slopes and music, festival-goers can unwind in Niseko’s famous hot springs (onsen) and savour delicious Japanese cuisine.
The scenic views of Mount Yotei and pop-up performances around the village should further enhance this unique fusion of adrenaline and entertainment.
