Skiing in Niseko, Japan
Temperatures are dropping and winter sports are in! In Asia, one of the most frequented destination in Asia for winter sports is Japan, with more and more tourists (particularly from Australia) heading to Niseko, Japan.
Especially from mid-December through February, the resort gets socked with winter storms that blow off Siberia and bury the mountain in some of the lightest, driest powder on the planet. The town of Kutchan, the seat of local government, records an average of nearly 12.7 meters - about 42 feet - of snow a year. On- mountain averages are harder to come by, but local ski businesses say that Niseko frequently gets more than 15.2 meters a year.
However, Niseko is not for the truly greenhorned. Read the IHT Travel feature article to see what I mean.
