Saturday Night Flare Run

Every Saturday night, as darkness settles over the slopes, the mountain lights up in a way that’s truly unforgettable.

This week’s photo captures the flare run—a tradition where ski instructors glide down the slope in unison, each carrying a bright flare. From a distance, it looks like a glowing river of light weaving its way across the mountain, shimmering against the snow.

It’s more than just a performance. For guests, it’s a magical spectacle that closes the day with wonder. For instructors, it’s a celebration—a chance to share the joy of skiing in a way that speaks without words.

The cold night air, the crackle of the flares, the synchronized turns against the dark sky… it all combines into one of those Niseko (or Thredbo) moments you never forget.
