Here falls possibly the lightest, driest powder snow in the world, in copious quantities. While the focus is certainly on Niseko United and its four resorts (Hanazono, Hirafu, Niseko Annupuri, and Niseko Village), there are many other exciting ski resorts in the area and a TON of phenomenal skiing (both on and off-piste) for those willing to venture off the beaten path. Here is a quick run-down with links to each resort for full info as well as quick links for rentals, lessons, and childcare.
