About Japan
There are several different ski areas in Japan, actually more than in Austria, all of which offer guests something unique. The best known and largest is Niseko, which is home to several resorts and attracts a highly-international clientele. However, you really can’t go wrong on a powder hunt anywhere in Japan. The geography of the island, means you are sure to shred fresh deep powder snow pretty much everywhere.
Most ski resorts in Japan has an average of 16 meters of snow per year. How is that possible? Japan provides the ideal air temperature, where cold air blows in from Siberia and collides with seasonal winds over the Sea of Japan. It’s a process that creates a lot of moisture. This forms into dense snow clouds that bring heavy snowfall. The result is powder designed to shred.
