Is December 3 too early...pls help!!

Hey all, a group of us are planning to go to Niseko to learn how to ski/snowboard.. but the only time we can get there is dec 3-10. i know that is still a bit early in their ski season, but will there still be enough snow, (somewhere) that us rookies can learn on.. Thanks guys...

Yes that is too early to guarantee snow- from mid Dec on is best

early January through to the end of February and often, into early March as well. The following highlights the average snowfall in Myoko Kogen.

There will be snow up high but you might have to hike a bit. Probably only one or two lifts running at the resorts at that time.
